1

What is \( \frac{21\sqrt{28}}{3\sqrt{4}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{21\sqrt{28}}{3\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{21}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{28}{4}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{7} \)


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 35 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
1 hour
5 hours
9 hours
8 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{35mi}{35mph} \)
1 hour


3

Find the average of the following numbers: 7, 5, 9, 3.

74% Answer Correctly
6
5
9
11

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{7 + 5 + 9 + 3}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6


4

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 3 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 3 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
9:2
7:6
7:4
7:8

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 3:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 3:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 9:6 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 6:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 9:6, 6:2 which reduces to 9:2.

If there were a total of 50 raffle tickets sold and you bought 3 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
4%
16%
7%
19%

Solution

You have 3 out of the total of 50 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{3}{50} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{3 \times 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{300}{50} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.
