Simplify \( \sqrt{45} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{10} \)
9\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)


2

Solve 4 + (2 + 2) ÷ 3 x 4 - 32

52% Answer Correctly
2
\(\frac{5}{7}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

4 + (2 + 2) ÷ 3 x 4 - 32
P: 4 + (4) ÷ 3 x 4 - 32
E: 4 + 4 ÷ 3 x 4 - 9
MD: 4 + \( \frac{4}{3} \) x 4 - 9
MD: 4 + \( \frac{16}{3} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{12}{3} \) + \( \frac{16}{3} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{28}{3} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{28 - 27}{3} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)


3

If there were a total of 100 raffle tickets sold and you bought 9 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
2%
3%
10%
9%

Solution

You have 9 out of the total of 100 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{9}{100} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{9 \times 100}{100} \) = \( \frac{900}{100} \) = 9% chance to win the raffle.


4

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{64}{16}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1
\(\frac{5}{7}\)
2
\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{64}{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{8^2}}{\sqrt{4^2}} \)
\( \frac{8}{4} \)

5

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 14?

72% Answer Correctly
79
49
66
42

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 have in common.
