What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{28} \) + \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
40\( \sqrt{28} \)
21\( \sqrt{7} \)
13\( \sqrt{7} \)
13\( \sqrt{196} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

8\( \sqrt{28} \) + 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \) + 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \) + 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(8)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
16\( \sqrt{7} \) + 5\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

16\( \sqrt{7} \) + 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(16 + 5)\( \sqrt{7} \)
21\( \sqrt{7} \)

A triathlon course includes a 400m swim, a 30.6km bike ride, and a 12.200000000000001km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
48.1km
43.2km
40.8km
37.8km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 400 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.4km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.4km + 30.6km + 12.200000000000001km
total distance = 43.2km


3

Convert 0.0006022 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
6.022 x 10-5
6.022 x 10-4
0.602 x 10-3
60.22 x 10-5

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

0.0006022 in scientific notation is 6.022 x 10-4


4

What is \( \frac{2}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{8} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{20}\)
5\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{16}{21}\)
2\(\frac{2}{7}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{2}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{8} \) = \( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{8}{3} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{8}{3} \) = \( \frac{2 x 8}{7 x 3} \) = \( \frac{16}{21} \) = \(\frac{16}{21}\)

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 60% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%
