The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 30% is for personal use and 40% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?
| 3,500 | |
| 4,500 | |
| 6,300 | |
| 13,500 |
40% of the water consumption is industrial use and 30% is personal use so (40% - 30%) = 10% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{10}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 3,500 gallons.
What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{8} \) - \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)
| 36\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{0} \) | |
| 14\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{4} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
9\( \sqrt{8} \) - 4\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \) - 4\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \) - 4\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9)(2)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 4\( \sqrt{2} \)
18\( \sqrt{2} \) - 4\( \sqrt{2} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
18\( \sqrt{2} \) - 4\( \sqrt{2} \)Monica scored 95% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 320 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Monica answer correctly?
| 86 | |
| 81 | |
| 76 | |
| 84 |
Monica scored 95% on the test meaning she earned 95% of the possible points on the test. There were 320 possible points on the test so she earned 320 x 0.95 = 304 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{304}{4} \) = 76 questions right.
What is 3\( \sqrt{9} \) x 8\( \sqrt{9} \)?
| 11\( \sqrt{81} \) | |
| 24\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 72\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 24\( \sqrt{18} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
3\( \sqrt{9} \) x 8\( \sqrt{9} \)
(3 x 8)\( \sqrt{9 \times 9} \)
24\( \sqrt{81} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
24\( \sqrt{81} \)
24\( \sqrt{9 \times 9} \)
24\( \sqrt{9 \times 3^2} \)
(24)(3)\( \sqrt{9} \)
72\( \sqrt{9} \)
Simplify \( \sqrt{45} \)
| 3\( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{10} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{10} \) |
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)
