How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 16 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

51% Answer Correctly
6
2
4
8

Solution

To fill a 16 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 8 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{8 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 4


2

What is (y2)3?

79% Answer Correctly
3y2
y5
y
y6

Solution

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

(y2)3
y(2 * 3)
y6


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)?

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

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{8^2}} \)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)


4

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{80} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
81\( \sqrt{5} \)
45\( \sqrt{5} \)
81\( \sqrt{80} \)
18\( \sqrt{400} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{80} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{16 \times 5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
(9)(4)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
36\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

36\( \sqrt{5} \) + 9\( \sqrt{5} \)
(36 + 9)\( \sqrt{5} \)
45\( \sqrt{5} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $27, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$9.45
$2.70
$12.15
$4.05

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $27 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$27 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$270}{100} \) = $2.70 on the second shirt.
