What is \( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{3}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{18}\)
1
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{3}{6} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{9 x 6} \) = \( \frac{9}{54} \) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 7 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 9 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.

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

49% Answer Correctly
150.7
186.2
103
126.5

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:

\( \frac{7}{100} \) x 9 = \( \frac{7 \times 9}{100} \) = \( \frac{63}{100} \) = 0.63 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 9 - 0.63 = 8.37 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 6 = 18 hours yesterday so you would expect that 18 x 8.37 = 150.7 error free parts were produced yesterday.


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{4}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
3
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
1
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{36}{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{6^2}}{\sqrt{2^2}} \)
\( \frac{6}{2} \)

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 4 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
3
2
2
4

Solution

To fill a 4 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 2 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{2 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


5

What is (c3)2?

80% Answer Correctly
c5
c6
2c3
c-1

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(c3)2
c(3 * 2)
c6
