1

What is \( \frac{20\sqrt{21}}{4\sqrt{7}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{20\sqrt{21}}{4\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{20}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{21}{7}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{3} \)


2

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 2 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 2 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
107.8
81.9
72
147

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{2}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{2 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{10}{100} \) = 0.1 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.1 = 4.9 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 2 = 22 hours yesterday so you would expect that 22 x 4.9 = 107.8 error free parts were produced yesterday.


3

Find the average of the following numbers: 15, 9, 14, 10.

74% Answer Correctly
17
15
12
7

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{15 + 9 + 14 + 10}{4} \) = \( \frac{48}{4} \) = 12


4

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common multiple

absolute value

least common multiple

greatest common factor


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


5

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 135 pounds of food in 9 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 225 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
3
8
4
6

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 135 pounds of food in 9 days that's \( \frac{135}{9} \) = 15 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 225 - 135 = 90 more pounds of food to reach 225 pounds total. At 15 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{90}{15} \) = 6 more days.
