Which of these numbers is a factor of 40?
| 28 | |
| 23 | |
| 1 | |
| 11 |
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40.
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 41,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 32,800 | |
| 33,333 | |
| 35,833 | |
| 36,750 |
A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
41,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{164000}{5} \) = 32,800 fans.
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 24 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 32 m2 | |
| 8 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 72 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 24 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 24.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 24
w + h = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
w + h = 12
w = 12 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 12 - 2w
3w = 12
w = \( \frac{12}{3} \)
w = 4
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 4) = 8 and the area = h x w = 4 x 8 = 32 m2
What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{50} \) + \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)
| 36\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 12\( \sqrt{25} \) | |
| 12\( \sqrt{100} \) | |
| 36\( \sqrt{50} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
6\( \sqrt{50} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
(6)(5)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
30\( \sqrt{2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
30\( \sqrt{2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)Simplify \( \frac{40}{60} \).
| \( \frac{1}{4} \) | |
| \( \frac{2}{3} \) | |
| \( \frac{9}{14} \) | |
| \( \frac{8}{11} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] making 20 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{40}{60} \) = \( \frac{\frac{40}{20}}{\frac{60}{20}} \) = \( \frac{2}{3} \)
