1

What is \( \frac{9\sqrt{24}}{3\sqrt{8}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{9\sqrt{24}}{3\sqrt{8}} \)
\( \frac{9}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{24}{8}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 40 miles at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
1 hour
2 hours
9 hours

Solution

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 = \( \frac{40mi}{20mph} \)
2 hours


3

4

If all of a roofing company's 6 workers are required to staff 3 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 5 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
4
3
9
12

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 6 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 3 crews so there are \( \frac{6}{3} \) = 2 workers on a crew. 5 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 2 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 5 x 2 = 10 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 6 workers so they need to add 10 - 6 = 4 new staff for the busy season.


5

What is \( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{16}{81}\)
\(\frac{2}{27}\)
\(\frac{1}{48}\)
\(\frac{4}{45}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \) = \( \frac{4 x 4}{9 x 9} \) = \( \frac{16}{81} \) = \(\frac{16}{81}\)
