Simplify \( \frac{16}{68} \).
| \( \frac{4}{17} \) | |
| \( \frac{9}{17} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{2} \) | |
| \( \frac{8}{19} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 16 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{16}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{4}{17} \)
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $47, how much money will he save?
| $7.05 | |
| $18.80 | |
| $11.75 | |
| $21.15 |
By buying two shirts, Roger will save $47 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$47 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1175}{100} \) = $11.75 on the second shirt.
Simplify \( \sqrt{50} \)
| 4\( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{4} \) |
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \)

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 6 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 72 m2 | |
| 2 m2 | |
| 8 m2 | |
| 32 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 6 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 6.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 6
w + h = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
w + h = 3
w = 3 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 3 - 2w
3w = 3
w = \( \frac{3}{3} \)
w = 1
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 1) = 2 and the area = h x w = 1 x 2 = 2 m2
If a car travels 450 miles in 9 hours, what is the average speed?
| 50 mph | |
| 55 mph | |
| 20 mph | |
| 70 mph |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
