1

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

fraction

improper fraction

integer

mixed number


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


2

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 110 pounds of food in 10 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 154 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
3
4
12
13

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 110 pounds of food in 10 days that's \( \frac{110}{10} \) = 11 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 154 - 110 = 44 more pounds of food to reach 154 pounds total. At 11 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{44}{11} \) = 4 more days.


3

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{32} \) - \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

38% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{2} \)
-4\( \sqrt{64} \)
-4\( \sqrt{-12} \)
45\( \sqrt{64} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{32} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(5)(4)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
20\( \sqrt{2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

20\( \sqrt{2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(20 - 9)\( \sqrt{2} \)
11\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

How many 6-passenger vans will it take to drive all 93 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
8 vans
4 vans
16 vans
14 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{93}{6} \) = 15\(\frac{1}{2}\)

So, it will take 15 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 16 vans.


5

What is 6\( \sqrt{3} \) x 2\( \sqrt{9} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{3} \)
12\( \sqrt{3} \)
12\( \sqrt{12} \)
36\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{3} \) x 2\( \sqrt{9} \)
(6 x 2)\( \sqrt{3 \times 9} \)
12\( \sqrt{27} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

12\( \sqrt{27} \)
12\( \sqrt{3 \times 9} \)
12\( \sqrt{3 \times 3^2} \)
(12)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \)
36\( \sqrt{3} \)
