Simplify \( \sqrt{27} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{6} \)
9\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{27} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)


2

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 50,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
41,667
30,000
24,000
20,667

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

50,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{250000}{6} \) = 41,667 fans.


3

What is \( \frac{14\sqrt{36}}{2\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{14\sqrt{36}}{2\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{14}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)

6
4
5

Solution

The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 have in common.
