A tiger in a zoo has consumed 105 pounds of food in 7 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 165 pounds?
| 4 | |
| 2 | |
| 7 | |
| 10 |
If the tiger has consumed 105 pounds of food in 7 days that's \( \frac{105}{7} \) = 15 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 165 - 105 = 60 more pounds of food to reach 165 pounds total. At 15 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{60}{15} \) = 4 more days.
The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 31% is for personal use and 49% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?
| 9,900 | |
| 4,800 | |
| 15,749 | |
| 6,300 |
49% of the water consumption is industrial use and 31% is personal use so (49% - 31%) = 18% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{18}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 6,300 gallons.
What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{4}} \)?
| 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{3}\) |
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:
\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{2^2}} \)
\( \frac{7}{2} \)
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
What is \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{28} \) - \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)
| -5\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 18\( \sqrt{28} \) | |
| 18\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| -7\( \sqrt{196} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
2\( \sqrt{28} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(2)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
4\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
4\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 54 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 8 m2 | |
| 32 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 162 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 54 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 54.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 54
w + h = \( \frac{54}{2} \)
w + h = 27
w = 27 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 27 - 2w
3w = 27
w = \( \frac{27}{3} \)
w = 9
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 9) = 18 and the area = h x w = 9 x 18 = 162 m2
