What is \( \sqrt{\frac{81}{25}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
3
\(\frac{3}{7}\)

Solution

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{81}{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9^2}}{\sqrt{5^2}} \)
\( \frac{9}{5} \)
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)


2

What is \( \frac{45\sqrt{6}}{9\sqrt{3}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{45\sqrt{6}}{9\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{45}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{6}{3}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{2} \)

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 100 pounds of food in 10 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 130 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
6
3
1
9

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 100 pounds of food in 10 days that's \( \frac{100}{10} \) = 10 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 130 - 100 = 30 more pounds of food to reach 130 pounds total. At 10 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{30}{10} \) = 3 more days.


4

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 9 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 9 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
9:2
1:4
81:2
9:4

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.
