What is 9\( \sqrt{8} \) x 8\( \sqrt{2} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
17\( \sqrt{16} \)
288
17\( \sqrt{8} \)
72\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

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

9\( \sqrt{8} \) x 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9 x 8)\( \sqrt{8 \times 2} \)
72\( \sqrt{16} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

72\( \sqrt{16} \)
72\( \sqrt{4^2} \)
(72)(4)
288


3

What is \( \frac{15\sqrt{36}}{5\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
4 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{15\sqrt{36}}{5\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{15}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $33, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$44.55
$49.50
$16.50
$41.25

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $33 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$33 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1650}{100} \) = $16.50 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$33.00 + ($33.00 - $16.50)
$33.00 + $16.50
$49.50
