1

What is \( \frac{30\sqrt{40}}{6\sqrt{8}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{30\sqrt{40}}{6\sqrt{8}} \)
\( \frac{30}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{40}{8}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)


2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
31
25
27
32

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 6

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 + 6
a6 = 25 + 6
a6 = 31


3

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

51% Answer Correctly
8
10
3
5

Solution

To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{5 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 5


4

How many 9-passenger vans will it take to drive all 42 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
10 vans
5 vans
6 vans
4 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{42}{9} \) = 4\(\frac{2}{3}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.


5

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

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{9}\)
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{6}{7}\)

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:

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