1

Simplify \( \sqrt{20} \)

62% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{5} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)


2

Find the average of the following numbers: 14, 8, 15, 7.

75% Answer Correctly
8
11
14
9

Solution

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

\( \frac{14 + 8 + 15 + 7}{4} \) = \( \frac{44}{4} \) = 11


3

If a car travels 45 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
70 mph
30 mph
45 mph
15 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{45mi}{1h} \)
45 mph


4

A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 30.2km bike ride, and a 9.2km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
39.9km
32.8km
58km
41.5km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 30.2km + 9.2km
total distance = 39.9km


5

What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{125} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
49\( \sqrt{625} \)
49\( \sqrt{125} \)
14\( \sqrt{625} \)
42\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{125} \) + 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \) + 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \) + 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
(7)(5)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
35\( \sqrt{5} \) + 7\( \sqrt{5} \)

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

35\( \sqrt{5} \) + 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
(35 + 7)\( \sqrt{5} \)
42\( \sqrt{5} \)
