1

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

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
3
1
\(\frac{7}{9}\)

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:

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

2

What is the least common multiple of 9 and 15?

72% Answer Correctly
132
112
45
56

Solution

The first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90] and the first few multiples of 15 are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [45, 90] making 45 the smallest multiple 9 and 15 have in common.


3

What is \( \frac{15\sqrt{10}}{3\sqrt{2}} \)?

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

Solution

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

\( \frac{15\sqrt{10}}{3\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{15}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{10}{2}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)


4

The total water usage for a city is 10,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 27% is for personal use and 49% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
2,900
10,350
2,200
5,100

Solution

49% of the water consumption is industrial use and 27% is personal use so (49% - 27%) = 22% more water is used for industrial purposes. 10,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{22}{100} \) x 10,000 gallons = 2,200 gallons.


5

Simplify \( \frac{20}{44} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{9}{17} \)
\( \frac{8}{19} \)
\( \frac{5}{11} \)
\( \frac{2}{5} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 44 are [1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{20}{44} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{44}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{11} \)
