1

What is \( \frac{18\sqrt{14}}{9\sqrt{7}} \)?

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

Solution

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

\( \frac{18\sqrt{14}}{9\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{18}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{14}{7}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{2} \)


2

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{16}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{36}{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{6^2}}{\sqrt{4^2}} \)
\( \frac{6}{4} \)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

A triathlon course includes a 100m swim, a 30.6km bike ride, and a 10.1km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
26.3km
40.8km
61.7km
38.4km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 100 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.1km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.1km + 30.6km + 10.1km
total distance = 40.8km


5

How many 11-passenger vans will it take to drive all 70 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
7 vans
12 vans
6 vans
16 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{70}{11} \) = 6\(\frac{4}{11}\)

So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.
