What is 3\( \sqrt{4} \) x 8\( \sqrt{9} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{9} \)
11\( \sqrt{36} \)
24\( \sqrt{9} \)
144

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{4} \) x 8\( \sqrt{9} \)
(3 x 8)\( \sqrt{4 \times 9} \)
24\( \sqrt{36} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

24\( \sqrt{36} \)
24\( \sqrt{6^2} \)
(24)(6)
144

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 8 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
14%
2%
3%
17%

Solution

You have 8 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{8}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{8 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{800}{400} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.


3

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

all of these are false

b1 = b

b1 = 1

b0 = 1


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


4

Solve 3 + (4 + 4) ÷ 3 x 5 - 22

53% Answer Correctly
12\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

3 + (4 + 4) ÷ 3 x 5 - 22
P: 3 + (8) ÷ 3 x 5 - 22
E: 3 + 8 ÷ 3 x 5 - 4
MD: 3 + \( \frac{8}{3} \) x 5 - 4
MD: 3 + \( \frac{40}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{9}{3} \) + \( \frac{40}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{49}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{49 - 12}{3} \)
\( \frac{37}{3} \)
12\(\frac{1}{3}\)


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $37, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$16.65
$9.25
$3.70
$12.95

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $37 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$37 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1665}{100} \) = $16.65 on the second shirt.
