What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{63} \) + \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)
| 18\( \sqrt{63} \) | |
| 21\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 18\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{441} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
6\( \sqrt{63} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
(6)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
18\( \sqrt{7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
18\( \sqrt{7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)Which of the following is not a prime number?

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
If all of a roofing company's 4 workers are required to staff 2 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 4 complete crews out on jobs?
| 5 | |
| 4 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 |
In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 4 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 2 crews so there are \( \frac{4}{2} \) = 2 workers on a crew. 4 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 2 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 4 x 2 = 8 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 4 workers so they need to add 8 - 4 = 4 new staff for the busy season.
What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{1}{9} \)?
| \(\frac{16}{45}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{63}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{32}\) |
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{1}{9} \) = \( \frac{4 x 1}{7 x 9} \) = \( \frac{4}{63} \) = \(\frac{4}{63}\)
\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?
distributive property for multiplication |
|
commutative property for multiplication |

distributive property for division |
|
commutative property for division |
The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
