Simplify \( \sqrt{12} \)

62% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{3} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{6} \)
5\( \sqrt{6} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{12} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
6
4
2
2

Solution

To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{5 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $30, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$18.00
$45.00
$48.00
$12.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $30 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$30 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1200}{100} \) = $12.00 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$30.00 + ($30.00 - $12.00)
$30.00 + $18.00
$48.00

5

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
