What is \( \frac{6}{3} \) + \( \frac{2}{9} \)?
| \( \frac{3}{9} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{1}{9} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{3}{9} \) | |
| 2\(\frac{2}{9}\) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45] making 9 the smallest multiple 3 and 9 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{6 x 3}{3 x 3} \) + \( \frac{2 x 1}{9 x 1} \)
\( \frac{18}{9} \) + \( \frac{2}{9} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{18 + 2}{9} \) = \( \frac{20}{9} \) = 2\(\frac{2}{9}\)
What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)?
| \(\frac{4}{7}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{8}\) | |
| 3 |
To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:
\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{8^2}} \)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
What is (a5)2?
| a3 | |
| a-3 | |
| 2a5 | |
| a10 |
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(a5)2Simplify \( \sqrt{125} \)
| 2\( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{10} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{10} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{5} \) |
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{125} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \)
5\( \sqrt{5} \)
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $39, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $27.30 | |
| $56.55 | |
| $40.95 | |
| $66.30 |
By buying two shirts, Roger will save $39 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$39 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1170}{100} \) = $11.70 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$39.00 + ($39.00 - $11.70)
$39.00 + $27.30
$66.30
