The total water usage for a city is 10,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 35% is for personal use and 54% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?
| 1,750 | |
| 10,350 | |
| 1,900 | |
| 11,900 |
54% of the water consumption is industrial use and 35% is personal use so (54% - 35%) = 19% more water is used for industrial purposes. 10,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{19}{100} \) x 10,000 gallons = 1,900 gallons.
What is 6y3 x 6y5?
| 36y8 | |
| 36y3 | |
| 36y-2 | |
| 36y5 |
To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
6y3 x 6y5
(6 x 6)y(3 + 5)
36y8
Solve 5 + (2 + 5) ÷ 3 x 2 - 32
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{9}\) |
Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):
5 + (2 + 5) ÷ 3 x 2 - 32
P: 5 + (7) ÷ 3 x 2 - 32
E: 5 + 7 ÷ 3 x 2 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{7}{3} \) x 2 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{14}{3} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{15}{3} \) + \( \frac{14}{3} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{29}{3} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{29 - 27}{3} \)
\( \frac{2}{3} \)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{81}} \)?
| \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{9}\) | |
| 1 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) |
To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:
\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
\(\frac{4}{9}\)
What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{63} \) - \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)
| -3\( \sqrt{441} \) | |
| -3\( \sqrt{40} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 54\( \sqrt{9} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
6\( \sqrt{63} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(6)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
18\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
18\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
