What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{7} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{64}\) | |
| \(\frac{7}{8}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{5}{8}\) | |
| 7 |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{3}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{7} \) = \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{7}{3} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{7}{3} \) = \( \frac{3 x 7}{8 x 3} \) = \( \frac{21}{24} \) = \(\frac{7}{8}\)
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $16, how much money will he save?
| $6.40 | |
| $2.40 | |
| $3.20 | |
| $4.00 |
By buying two shirts, Alex will save $16 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$16 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$240}{100} \) = $2.40 on the second shirt.
If a mayor is elected with 71% of the votes cast and 60% of a town's 18,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?
| 7,668 | |
| 6,912 | |
| 8,856 | |
| 8,964 |
If 60% of the town's 18,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:
(\( \frac{60}{100} \)) x 18,000 = \( \frac{1,080,000}{100} \) = 10,800
The mayor got 71% of the votes cast which is:
(\( \frac{71}{100} \)) x 10,800 = \( \frac{766,800}{100} \) = 7,668 votes.
What is 6\( \sqrt{6} \) x 6\( \sqrt{9} \)?
| 36\( \sqrt{6} \) | |
| 12\( \sqrt{54} \) | |
| 108\( \sqrt{6} \) | |
| 12\( \sqrt{9} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
6\( \sqrt{6} \) x 6\( \sqrt{9} \)
(6 x 6)\( \sqrt{6 \times 9} \)
36\( \sqrt{54} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
36\( \sqrt{54} \)
36\( \sqrt{6 \times 9} \)
36\( \sqrt{6 \times 3^2} \)
(36)(3)\( \sqrt{6} \)
108\( \sqrt{6} \)
What is 4c2 x 2c5?
| 8c7 | |
| 8c-3 | |
| 8c10 | |
| 6c10 |
To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
4c2 x 2c5
(4 x 2)c(2 + 5)
8c7
