What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{125} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)
| 29\( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 13\( \sqrt{625} \) | |
| 36\( \sqrt{625} \) | |
| 13\( \sqrt{25} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
4\( \sqrt{125} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
(4)(5)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
20\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
20\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)Which of the following is an improper fraction?
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({a \over 5} \) |
|
\({7 \over 5} \) |
A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
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?
| 2 m2 | |
| 162 m2 | |
| 72 m2 | |
| 128 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
12 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?
| 7 | |
| 6 | |
| 2 | |
| 8 |
There are 2 5-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 5 = 10 total seats. There are 12 people needing transportation leaving 12 - 10 = 2 who will have to find other transportation.
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 25% | |
| 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 20% | |
| 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)% |
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
