A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $12, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.60
$4.80
$1.20
$3.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $12 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$12 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$120}{100} \) = $1.20 on the second shirt.


2

What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{15}\)
\(\frac{2}{27}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{6} \) = \( \frac{3 x 2}{8 x 6} \) = \( \frac{6}{48} \) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)


3

What is 4\( \sqrt{3} \) x 5\( \sqrt{6} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{3} \)
60\( \sqrt{2} \)
20\( \sqrt{9} \)
20\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{3} \) x 5\( \sqrt{6} \)
(4 x 5)\( \sqrt{3 \times 6} \)
20\( \sqrt{18} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

20\( \sqrt{18} \)
20\( \sqrt{2 \times 9} \)
20\( \sqrt{2 \times 3^2} \)
(20)(3)\( \sqrt{2} \)
60\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{8^2}} \)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
13
24
21
14

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 4
a6 = 17 + 4
a6 = 21
