1

What is \( \frac{6\sqrt{12}}{2\sqrt{4}} \)?

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

Solution

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

\( \frac{6\sqrt{12}}{2\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{6}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{12}{4}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)


2

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $50, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$67.50
$87.50
$65.00
$37.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $50 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$50 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1250}{100} \) = $12.50 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$50.00 + ($50.00 - $12.50)
$50.00 + $37.50
$87.50


3

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 108 pounds of food in 9 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 156 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
4
1
5
6

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 108 pounds of food in 9 days that's \( \frac{108}{9} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 156 - 108 = 48 more pounds of food to reach 156 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{48}{12} \) = 4 more days.


4

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{81}{25}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
2
\(\frac{2}{3}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{81}{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9^2}}{\sqrt{5^2}} \)
\( \frac{9}{5} \)
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)


5

What is \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) - \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
18\( \sqrt{75} \)
18\( \sqrt{3} \)
\( \sqrt{3} \)
-7\( \sqrt{-16} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

2\( \sqrt{75} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(2)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
10\( \sqrt{3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

10\( \sqrt{3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(10 - 9)\( \sqrt{3} \)
\( \sqrt{3} \)
