Simplify \( \sqrt{175} \)

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

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{175} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)


2

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

PEDMAS

commutative

distributive

associative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


3

What is the greatest common factor of 16 and 36?

77% Answer Correctly
12
1
6
4

Solution

The factors of 16 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] and the factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 16 and 36 have in common.

If a mayor is elected with 68% of the votes cast and 90% of a town's 46,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
34,776
27,324
33,948
28,152

Solution

If 90% of the town's 46,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{90}{100} \)) x 46,000 = \( \frac{4,140,000}{100} \) = 41,400

The mayor got 68% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{68}{100} \)) x 41,400 = \( \frac{2,815,200}{100} \) = 28,152 votes.


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 560 miles at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
2 hours
4 hours
8 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{560mi}{70mph} \)
8 hours
