1

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{81}} \)?

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

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{36}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{6^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)


2

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

69% Answer Correctly
22
20
23
14

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.


3

What is 6\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{8} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
24\( \sqrt{8} \)
24\( \sqrt{10} \)
24\( \sqrt{2} \)
96

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{8} \)
(6 x 4)\( \sqrt{2 \times 8} \)
24\( \sqrt{16} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

24\( \sqrt{16} \)
24\( \sqrt{4^2} \)
(24)(4)
96

7

5

9

2


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
15%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%
