What is \( \frac{15\sqrt{49}}{3\sqrt{7}} \)?
| 5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \) | |
| 7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) | |
| 5 \( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{7} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{15\sqrt{49}}{3\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{15}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{7}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{7} \)
A triathlon course includes a 300m swim, a 20.8km bike ride, and a 15.9km run. What is the total length of the race course?
| 37km | |
| 31.1km | |
| 63.6km | |
| 47.5km |
To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 300 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.3km then add the remaining distances:
total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.3km + 20.8km + 15.9km
total distance = 37km
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $45, how much money will he save?
| $9.00 | |
| $2.25 | |
| $22.50 | |
| $20.25 |
By buying two shirts, Frank will save $45 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$45 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$225}{100} \) = $2.25 on the second shirt.
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 24 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 32 m2 | |
| 128 m2 | |
| 2 m2 | |
| 72 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 24 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 24.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 24
w + h = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
w + h = 12
w = 12 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 12 - 2w
3w = 12
w = \( \frac{12}{3} \)
w = 4
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 4) = 8 and the area = h x w = 4 x 8 = 32 m2
What is 7z2 - 9z2?
| 16z2 | |
| -2z2 | |
| 16z4 | |
| 2z-2 |
To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:
7z2 - 9z2
(7 - 9)z2
-2z2
