What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) + \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{3} \)
32\( \sqrt{81} \)
12\( \sqrt{9} \)
20\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{27} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(4)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
12\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)

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

12\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(12 + 8)\( \sqrt{3} \)
20\( \sqrt{3} \)


2

What is -3c3 - 5c3?

71% Answer Correctly
-8c3
2c3
2c9
-8c-3

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-3c3 - 5c3
(-3 - 5)c3
-8c3


3

A triathlon course includes a 100m swim, a 40.6km bike ride, and a 8.0km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
62.6km
62.2km
38.4km
48.7km

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 100 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.1km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.1km + 40.6km + 8.0km
total distance = 48.7km


4

Christine scored 89% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 280 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
62
60
61
73

Solution

Christine scored 89% on the test meaning she earned 89% of the possible points on the test. There were 280 possible points on the test so she earned 280 x 0.89 = 248 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{248}{4} \) = 62 questions right.


5

What is \( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{35}\)
\(\frac{3}{25}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{4}{7}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \) = \( \frac{2 x 2}{7 x 5} \) = \( \frac{4}{35} \) = \(\frac{4}{35}\)
