What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{50} \) - \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

38% Answer Correctly
23\( \sqrt{2} \)
10\( \sqrt{50} \)
3\( \sqrt{100} \)
10\( \sqrt{100} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

5\( \sqrt{50} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
(5)(5)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
25\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

25\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
(25 - 2)\( \sqrt{2} \)
23\( \sqrt{2} \)

A bread recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2 - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{16}{8} \) - \( \frac{10}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{6}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
225 miles
150 miles
120 miles
240 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 40mph \times 6h \)
240 miles

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 72 pounds of food in 8 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 108 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
9
4
12
11

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 72 pounds of food in 8 days that's \( \frac{72}{8} \) = 9 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 108 - 72 = 36 more pounds of food to reach 108 pounds total. At 9 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{36}{9} \) = 4 more days.
