What is the least common multiple of 4 and 6?
| 12 | |
| 13 | |
| 20 | |
| 5 |
The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 4 and 6 have in common.
How many hours does it take a car to travel 675 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?
| 9 hours | |
| 7 hours | |
| 4 hours | |
| 8 hours |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for time:
time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{675mi}{75mph} \)
9 hours
What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)
| 12\( \sqrt{45} \) | |
| 12\( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 18\( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 27\( \sqrt{5} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
3\( \sqrt{45} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
(3)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
9\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)On average, the center for a basketball team hits 50% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 65% of his shots. If the guard takes 10 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?
| 23 | |
| 17 | |
| 26 | |
| 12 |
guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 10 x \( \frac{65}{100} \) = \( \frac{65 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{650}{100} \) = 6 shots
The center makes 50% of his shots so he'll have to take:
shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)
to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:
center shots taken = \( \frac{6}{\frac{50}{100}} \) = 6 x \( \frac{100}{50} \) = \( \frac{6 x 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{600}{50} \) = 12 shots
to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 12 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
| 4 | |
| 6 | |
| 8 | |
| 3 |
To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3
