Simplify \( \sqrt{125} \)

62% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{10} \)
6\( \sqrt{10} \)
5\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{125} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \)
5\( \sqrt{5} \)

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 72 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 108 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
3
29
5
7

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 72 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{72}{6} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 108 - 72 = 36 more pounds of food to reach 108 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{36}{12} \) = 3 more days.


4

Convert 3,525,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
3.525 x 10-5
3.525 x 106
3.525 x 105
3.525 x 107

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

3,525,000 in scientific notation is 3.525 x 106


5

A triathlon course includes a 200m swim, a 40.8km bike ride, and a 9.7km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
34.1km
40.2km
58.3km
50.7km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 40.8km + 9.7km
total distance = 50.7km
