60% Answer Correctly
19%
10%

6\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{6} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

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

52% Answer Correctly
4
6
2
3

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
