1

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{49}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{6}{7}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{36}{49}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{49}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{6^2}}{\sqrt{7^2}} \)
\(\frac{6}{7}\)


2

Find the average of the following numbers: 9, 7, 12, 4.

74% Answer Correctly
8
12
9
7

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{9 + 7 + 12 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8


3

What is 5z3 x 3z4?

75% Answer Correctly
8z12
15z-1
15z7
8z7

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

5z3 x 3z4
(5 x 3)z(3 + 4)
15z7


4

Charlie loaned Latoya $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,339
$1,365
$1,326
$1,391

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,300
i = 0.07 x $1,300

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,300 + $91
total = $1,391


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
23
31
22
34

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31
