What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{80} \) + \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
64\( \sqrt{80} \)
40\( \sqrt{5} \)
16\( \sqrt{80} \)
16\( \sqrt{16} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

8\( \sqrt{80} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{16 \times 5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
(8)(4)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
32\( \sqrt{5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

32\( \sqrt{5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
(32 + 8)\( \sqrt{5} \)
40\( \sqrt{5} \)

Roger loaned Monica $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,177
$1,188
$1,166
$1,133

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 $1,100
i = 0.07 x $1,100

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,100 + $77
total = $1,177


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{63} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{63} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \)
3\( \sqrt{7} \)


4

If there were a total of 200 raffle tickets sold and you bought 12 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
17%
8%
6%
4%

Solution

You have 12 out of the total of 200 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{12}{200} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{12 \times 100}{200} \) = \( \frac{1200}{200} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.


5

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
