1

What is \( \frac{4\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{3}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{4\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{4}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{6}{3}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{2} \)

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 25 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
10
9
5
6

Solution

To fill a 25 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 12\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{12\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5

If a car travels 405 miles in 9 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
35 mph
30 mph
75 mph
45 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{405mi}{9h} \)
45 mph

Charlie loaned Frank $700 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$7
$18
$63
$72

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $700
i = 0.09 x $700
i = $63
