Which of these numbers is a factor of 36?
| 23 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 | |
| 40 |
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.
What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{18} \) - \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)
| 21\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 54\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{18} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
9\( \sqrt{18} \) - 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \) - 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \) - 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
27\( \sqrt{2} \) - 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
27\( \sqrt{2} \) - 6\( \sqrt{2} \)What is \( \frac{9}{4} \) + \( \frac{8}{6} \)?
| 1 \( \frac{4}{12} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{5}{12} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{1}{12} \) | |
| 3\(\frac{7}{12}\) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 4 and 6 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{9 x 3}{4 x 3} \) + \( \frac{8 x 2}{6 x 2} \)
\( \frac{27}{12} \) + \( \frac{16}{12} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{27 + 16}{12} \) = \( \frac{43}{12} \) = 3\(\frac{7}{12}\)
Alex loaned Frank $200 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?
| $3 | |
| $2 | |
| $63 | |
| $15 |
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 $200
i = 0.01 x $200
i = $2
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 60% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 30% |
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%
