1

What is \( \frac{15\sqrt{8}}{5\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)
4 \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{15\sqrt{8}}{5\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{15}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{8}{2}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)


2

Betty scored 85% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
25
34
29
35

Solution

Betty scored 85% on the test meaning she earned 85% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.85 = 102 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{102}{3} \) = 34 questions right.


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $12, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$4.20
$3.60
$0.60
$1.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $12 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$12 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$420}{100} \) = $4.20 on the second shirt.


4

If \( \left|b - 2\right| \) - 8 = 9, which of these is a possible value for b?

62% Answer Correctly
-13
9
19
8

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|b - 2\right| \):

\( \left|b - 2\right| \) - 8 = 9
\( \left|b - 2\right| \) = 9 + 8
\( \left|b - 2\right| \) = 17

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (b - 2) must equal + 17 or -17 for \( \left|b - 2\right| \) to equal 17:

b - 2 = 17
b = 17 + 2
b = 19
b - 2 = -17
b = -17 + 2
b = -15

So, b = -15 or b = 19.


5

What is 4y7 x 8y4?

75% Answer Correctly
32y4
12y11
12y7
32y11

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:

4y7 x 8y4
(4 x 8)y(7 + 4)
32y11
