What is 8\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{9} \)?
| 96\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 32\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 12\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 12\( \sqrt{18} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
8\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{9} \)
(8 x 4)\( \sqrt{2 \times 9} \)
32\( \sqrt{18} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
32\( \sqrt{18} \)
32\( \sqrt{2 \times 9} \)
32\( \sqrt{2 \times 3^2} \)
(32)(3)\( \sqrt{2} \)
96\( \sqrt{2} \)
Simplify \( \sqrt{75} \)
| 9\( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{6} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{6} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{3} \) |
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{75} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)
What is \( \frac{8}{2} \) + \( \frac{7}{4} \)?
| 5\(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{9}{4} \) | |
| \( \frac{8}{4} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{8}{16} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40]. The first few multiples they share are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20] making 4 the smallest multiple 2 and 4 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{8 x 2}{2 x 2} \) + \( \frac{7 x 1}{4 x 1} \)
\( \frac{16}{4} \) + \( \frac{7}{4} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{16 + 7}{4} \) = \( \frac{23}{4} \) = 5\(\frac{3}{4}\)
If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 10 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
| 3% | |
| 17% | |
| 11% | |
| 8% |
You have 10 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{10}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{10 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{1000}{350} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.
