1

What is \( \frac{18\sqrt{36}}{6\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{18\sqrt{36}}{6\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{18}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)


2

Convert z-5 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{z^5} \)
\( \frac{-5}{-z} \)
\( \frac{5}{z} \)
\( \frac{-5}{z} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


3

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 4 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
300 miles
385 miles
220 miles
175 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 = \( 55mph \times 4h \)
220 miles

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $35, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$14.00
$5.25
$8.75
$3.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $35 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$35 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$350}{100} \) = $3.50 on the second shirt.


5

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2 cups
3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{25}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{19}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
