1

What is \( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{1}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{6}{25}\)
\(\frac{1}{14}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{2}{45}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{1}{9} \) = \( \frac{2 x 1}{5 x 9} \) = \( \frac{2}{45} \) = \(\frac{2}{45}\)


2

Simplify \( \frac{16}{68} \).

78% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{20} \)
\( \frac{4}{17} \)
\( \frac{5}{19} \)
\( \frac{9}{19} \)

Solution

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:

\( \frac{16}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{4}{17} \)


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{80} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{10} \)
4\( \sqrt{10} \)
8\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 5} \)
4\( \sqrt{5} \)


4

What is 2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 8\( \sqrt{7} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
10\( \sqrt{7} \)
16\( \sqrt{7} \)
32\( \sqrt{14} \)
10\( \sqrt{56} \)

Solution

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

2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 8\( \sqrt{7} \)
(2 x 8)\( \sqrt{8 \times 7} \)
16\( \sqrt{56} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

16\( \sqrt{56} \)
16\( \sqrt{14 \times 4} \)
16\( \sqrt{14 \times 2^2} \)
(16)(2)\( \sqrt{14} \)
32\( \sqrt{14} \)


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
18
20
35
26

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26
