1

What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{20}}{2\sqrt{4}} \)?

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

Solution

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

\( \frac{10\sqrt{20}}{2\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{10}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{20}{4}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 50,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
35,200
30,000
41,667
24,000

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

50,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{250000}{6} \) = 41,667 fans.


3

What is the least common multiple of 4 and 10?

72% Answer Correctly
11
12
19
20

Solution

The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [20, 40, 60, 80] making 20 the smallest multiple 4 and 10 have in common.


4

What is 7\( \sqrt{9} \) x 5\( \sqrt{9} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
105\( \sqrt{9} \)
12\( \sqrt{9} \)
35\( \sqrt{9} \)
35\( \sqrt{18} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{9} \) x 5\( \sqrt{9} \)
(7 x 5)\( \sqrt{9 \times 9} \)
35\( \sqrt{81} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

35\( \sqrt{81} \)
35\( \sqrt{9 \times 9} \)
35\( \sqrt{9 \times 3^2} \)
(35)(3)\( \sqrt{9} \)
105\( \sqrt{9} \)

If all of a roofing company's 6 workers are required to staff 2 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 6 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
13
10
12
9

Solution

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 6 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 2 crews so there are \( \frac{6}{2} \) = 3 workers on a crew. 6 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 3 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 6 x 3 = 18 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 6 workers so they need to add 18 - 6 = 12 new staff for the busy season.
