1

What is \( \frac{7}{6} \) + \( \frac{3}{14} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{3}{42} \)
1\(\frac{8}{21}\)
2 \( \frac{3}{12} \)
2 \( \frac{6}{42} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{7 x 7}{6 x 7} \) + \( \frac{3 x 3}{14 x 3} \)

\( \frac{49}{42} \) + \( \frac{9}{42} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{49 + 9}{42} \) = \( \frac{58}{42} \) = 1\(\frac{8}{21}\)

Solve 4 + (5 + 4) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52

52% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-17\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

4 + (5 + 4) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52
P: 4 + (9) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52
E: 4 + 9 ÷ 5 x 2 - 25
MD: 4 + \( \frac{9}{5} \) x 2 - 25
MD: 4 + \( \frac{18}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{20}{5} \) + \( \frac{18}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{38}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{38 - 125}{5} \)
\( \frac{-87}{5} \)
-17\(\frac{2}{5}\)

What is 4\( \sqrt{8} \) x 8\( \sqrt{6} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
128\( \sqrt{3} \)
32\( \sqrt{6} \)
12\( \sqrt{48} \)
32\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{8} \) x 8\( \sqrt{6} \)
(4 x 8)\( \sqrt{8 \times 6} \)
32\( \sqrt{48} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

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


4

What is -5z2 + 7z2?

66% Answer Correctly
-12z2
2z2
2z-4
-12z-2

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-5z2 + 7z2
(-5 + 7)z2
2z2


5

Which of these numbers is a factor of 64?

68% Answer Correctly
47
64
7
32

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.
