Simplify \( \sqrt{32} \)

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

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

How many 14-passenger vans will it take to drive all 48 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
6 vans
11 vans
3 vans
4 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{48}{14} \) = 3\(\frac{3}{7}\)

So, it will take 3 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 4 vans.


3

What is (y3)4?

80% Answer Correctly
y12
y7
3y4
y

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(y3)4
y(3 * 4)
y12


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

83% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 39,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
41,667
25,500
25,833
26,000

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

39,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{78000}{3} \) = 26,000 fans.
