What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{49}} \)?

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

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{49}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{49}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{7^2}} \)

2

Solve for \( \frac{5!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
42
72
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{72} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{5!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)


3

What is -7y4 x 5y2?

75% Answer Correctly
-35y6
-35y2
-2y6
-2y4

Solution

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:

-7y4 x 5y2
(-7 x 5)y(4 + 2)
-35y6


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
20%

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 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%


5

Ezra loaned Ezra $800 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$2
$20
$8
$98

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $800
i = 0.01 x $800
i = $8
