1

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{5^2}}{\sqrt{4^2}} \)
\( \frac{5}{4} \)
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
280 miles
375 miles
420 miles
45 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 = \( 45mph \times 1h \)
45 miles

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 12 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
4
8
3
7

Solution

To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 4


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)

62% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{4} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)


5
