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

41% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{6} \)
24\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{12} \)
12\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{2} \) x 2\( \sqrt{6} \)
(6 x 2)\( \sqrt{2 \times 6} \)
12\( \sqrt{12} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

12\( \sqrt{12} \)
12\( \sqrt{3 \times 4} \)
12\( \sqrt{3 \times 2^2} \)
(12)(2)\( \sqrt{3} \)
24\( \sqrt{3} \)


2

Find the average of the following numbers: 7, 5, 8, 4.

75% Answer Correctly
11
6
5
7

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{7 + 5 + 8 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6


3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 135 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
9 hours
3 hours
6 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{135mi}{15mph} \)
9 hours


4

What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) + \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{3} \)
28\( \sqrt{3} \)
12\( \sqrt{225} \)
12\( \sqrt{25} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{75} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(4)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
20\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)

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

20\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(20 + 8)\( \sqrt{3} \)
28\( \sqrt{3} \)


5

A triathlon course includes a 400m swim, a 30.5km bike ride, and a 5.9km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
33.3km
52.5km
48.2km
36.8km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 400 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.4km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.4km + 30.5km + 5.9km
total distance = 36.8km
