What is 7\( \sqrt{5} \) x 8\( \sqrt{6} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
15\( \sqrt{5} \)
15\( \sqrt{6} \)
56\( \sqrt{30} \)
56\( \sqrt{11} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{5} \) x 8\( \sqrt{6} \)
(7 x 8)\( \sqrt{5 \times 6} \)
56\( \sqrt{30} \)


2

What is the least common multiple of 5 and 7?

72% Answer Correctly
26
35
27
14

Solution

The first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [35, 70] making 35 the smallest multiple 5 and 7 have in common.


3

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
49:2
7:4
5:2
1:2

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.

Solve 2 + (3 + 3) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52

52% Answer Correctly
-20\(\frac{3}{5}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
2

Solution

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

2 + (3 + 3) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52
P: 2 + (6) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52
E: 2 + 6 ÷ 5 x 2 - 25
MD: 2 + \( \frac{6}{5} \) x 2 - 25
MD: 2 + \( \frac{12}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{10}{5} \) + \( \frac{12}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{22}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{22 - 125}{5} \)
\( \frac{-103}{5} \)
-20\(\frac{3}{5}\)


5

What is -3c3 x 2c4?

75% Answer Correctly
-c7
-6c-1
-6c7
-c12

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-3c3 x 2c4
(-3 x 2)c(3 + 4)
-6c7
