What is the least common multiple of 3 and 7?
| 17 | |
| 14 | |
| 9 | |
| 21 |
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.
What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{81}} \)?
| \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{8}\) | |
| \(\frac{7}{9}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{9}\) |
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:
\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)
How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
| 8 | |
| 3 | |
| 6 | |
| 2 |
To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 30 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 2 m2 | |
| 128 m2 | |
| 72 m2 | |
| 50 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 30 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 30.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 30
w + h = \( \frac{30}{2} \)
w + h = 15
w = 15 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 15 - 2w
3w = 15
w = \( \frac{15}{3} \)
w = 5
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 5) = 10 and the area = h x w = 5 x 10 = 50 m2
What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{20} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)
| 23\( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 16\( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| 63\( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| 63\( \sqrt{100} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
7\( \sqrt{20} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
(7)(2)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
14\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
14\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
