Solve for \( \frac{3!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
42
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{1680} \)
336

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{3!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)


2

What is 2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 3\( \sqrt{8} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
48
5\( \sqrt{64} \)
6\( \sqrt{16} \)
5\( \sqrt{8} \)

Solution

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

2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 3\( \sqrt{8} \)
(2 x 3)\( \sqrt{8 \times 8} \)
6\( \sqrt{64} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

6\( \sqrt{64} \)
6\( \sqrt{8^2} \)
(6)(8)
48


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{112} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{7} \)
4\( \sqrt{14} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)
9\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{112} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \)
4\( \sqrt{7} \)

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 24 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
72 m2
98 m2
32 m2
128 m2

Solution

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 24 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 24.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 24
w + h = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
w + h = 12
w = 12 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 12 - 2w
3w = 12
w = \( \frac{12}{3} \)
w = 4

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 4) = 8 and the area = h x w = 4 x 8 = 32 m2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 50% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
25%
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 50% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{50\text{%}}{2} \) = 25%
