What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
27\( \sqrt{3} \)
27\( \sqrt{25} \)
12\( \sqrt{225} \)
24\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

3\( \sqrt{75} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(3)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
15\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

15\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(15 + 9)\( \sqrt{3} \)
24\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solve 4 + (3 + 5) ÷ 2 x 3 - 32

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{9}\)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)
7
\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

4 + (3 + 5) ÷ 2 x 3 - 32
P: 4 + (8) ÷ 2 x 3 - 32
E: 4 + 8 ÷ 2 x 3 - 9
MD: 4 + \( \frac{8}{2} \) x 3 - 9
MD: 4 + \( \frac{24}{2} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{8}{2} \) + \( \frac{24}{2} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{32}{2} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{32 - 18}{2} \)
\( \frac{14}{2} \)

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 30 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
32 m2
98 m2
50 m2
128 m2

Solution

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 30 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 30.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 30
w + h = \( \frac{30}{2} \)
w + h = 15
w = 15 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 15 - 2w
3w = 15
w = \( \frac{15}{3} \)
w = 5

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 5) = 10 and the area = h x w = 5 x 10 = 50 m2


4

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

5

9

7

2


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 2 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
300 miles
455 miles
70 miles
280 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 35mph \times 2h \)
70 miles
