What is 4b5 x 8b6?

75% Answer Correctly
12b6
12b30
32b11
32b30

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:

4b5 x 8b6
(4 x 8)b(5 + 6)
32b11


2

What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{9} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
6
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
1
\(\frac{3}{10}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{2}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{9}{3} \)

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

\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{9}{3} \) = \( \frac{2 x 9}{6 x 3} \) = \( \frac{18}{18} \) = 1


3

What is \( \frac{8}{8} \) + \( \frac{6}{12} \)?

59% Answer Correctly
2 \( \frac{2}{7} \)
\( \frac{1}{24} \)
1 \( \frac{3}{12} \)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 8 and 12 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{8 x 3}{8 x 3} \) + \( \frac{6 x 2}{12 x 2} \)

\( \frac{24}{24} \) + \( \frac{12}{24} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{24 + 12}{24} \) = \( \frac{36}{24} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

What is 6\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{2} \)
30\( \sqrt{14} \)
30\( \sqrt{9} \)
11\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
(6 x 5)\( \sqrt{7 \times 2} \)
30\( \sqrt{14} \)


5

What is the least common multiple of 3 and 7?

72% Answer Correctly
8
1
21
10

Solution

The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 have in common.
