If there were a total of 100 raffle tickets sold and you bought 3 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
| 4% | |
| 3% | |
| 7% | |
| 17% |
You have 3 out of the total of 100 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{3}{100} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{3 \times 100}{100} \) = \( \frac{300}{100} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.
What is \( \sqrt{\frac{4}{16}} \)?
| 1 | |
| \(\frac{7}{8}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:
\( \sqrt{\frac{4}{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{2^2}}{\sqrt{4^2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Simplify \( \sqrt{28} \)
| 2\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{14} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{14} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{7} \) |
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{28} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \)
2\( \sqrt{7} \)
Simplify \( \frac{32}{80} \).
| \( \frac{2}{5} \) | |
| \( \frac{8}{11} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{19} \) | |
| \( \frac{8}{19} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 5 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] making 16 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{32}{80} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{16}}{\frac{80}{16}} \) = \( \frac{2}{5} \)
If all of a roofing company's 16 workers are required to staff 4 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 6 complete crews out on jobs?
| 7 | |
| 2 | |
| 12 | |
| 8 |
In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 16 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 4 crews so there are \( \frac{16}{4} \) = 4 workers on a crew. 6 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 4 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 6 x 4 = 24 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 16 workers so they need to add 24 - 16 = 8 new staff for the busy season.
