What is 5\( \sqrt{6} \) x 7\( \sqrt{8} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{8} \)
140\( \sqrt{3} \)
35\( \sqrt{14} \)
35\( \sqrt{6} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{6} \) x 7\( \sqrt{8} \)
(5 x 7)\( \sqrt{6 \times 8} \)
35\( \sqrt{48} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

35\( \sqrt{48} \)
35\( \sqrt{3 \times 16} \)
35\( \sqrt{3 \times 4^2} \)
(35)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \)
140\( \sqrt{3} \)

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

51% Answer Correctly
5
4
2
7

Solution

To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


3

Bob loaned Bob $700 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$35
$77
$98
$55

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $700
i = 0.05 x $700
i = $35


4

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{4}{25}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{4}{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{2^2}}{\sqrt{5^2}} \)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Diane scored 93% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 200 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
82
93
96
78

Solution

Diane scored 93% on the test meaning she earned 93% of the possible points on the test. There were 200 possible points on the test so she earned 200 x 0.93 = 186 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{186}{2} \) = 93 questions right.
