2

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 36 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
7%
8%
13%
16%

Solution

You have 36 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{36}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{36 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{3600}{450} \) = 8% chance to win the raffle.


3

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

fraction

improper fraction

mixed number

integer


Solution

4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 60 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
5 hours
1 hour
4 hours
7 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{60mi}{15mph} \)
4 hours

What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{48} \) + \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
36\( \sqrt{3} \)
15\( \sqrt{144} \)
15\( \sqrt{3} \)
56\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{48} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
7\( \sqrt{16 \times 3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
7\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(7)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
28\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

28\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(28 + 8)\( \sqrt{3} \)
36\( \sqrt{3} \)
