What is \( \frac{6}{2} \) + \( \frac{3}{10} \)?
| 3\(\frac{3}{10}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{1}{10} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{3}{12} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{7}{13} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{6 x 5}{2 x 5} \) + \( \frac{3 x 1}{10 x 1} \)
\( \frac{30}{10} \) + \( \frac{3}{10} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{30 + 3}{10} \) = \( \frac{33}{10} \) = 3\(\frac{3}{10}\)
How many 9-passenger vans will it take to drive all 55 members of the football team to an away game?
| 13 vans | |
| 4 vans | |
| 7 vans | |
| 6 vans |
Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:
vans = \( \frac{55}{9} \) = 6\(\frac{1}{9}\)
So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.
In a class of 29 students, 10 are taking German and 13 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 7 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?
| 13 | |
| 12 | |
| 26 | |
| 22 |
The number of students taking German or Spanish is 10 + 13 = 23. Of that group of 23, 7 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 23 - 7 = 16 who are taking at least one language. 29 - 16 = 13 students who are not taking either language.
What is 2\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{2} \)?
| 16 | |
| 6\( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
2\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{2} \)
(2 x 4)\( \sqrt{2 \times 2} \)
8\( \sqrt{4} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
8\( \sqrt{4} \)
8\( \sqrt{2^2} \)
(8)(2)
16
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?
| 165 miles | |
| 125 miles | |
| 200 miles | |
| 420 miles |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 25mph \times 8h \)
200 miles
