Math Problem Statement

Select all of the following values that are perfect squares: 64, 7, 2/3, 36, 1, 1/4, 40, 16

Solution

From the uploaded image, Question 3 asks: "Select all of the following values that are perfect squares."

Step-by-step explanation:

A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the square of an integer or a rational number (in the case of fractions). Let's analyze the options:

  1. 64: 64=8\sqrt{64} = 8. Perfect square.
  2. 7: 72.645\sqrt{7} \approx 2.645. Not a perfect square.
  3. 23\frac{2}{3}: This is not the square of any rational number. Not a perfect square.
  4. 36: 36=6\sqrt{36} = 6. Perfect square.
  5. 1: 1=1\sqrt{1} = 1. Perfect square.
  6. 14\frac{1}{4}: 14=12\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{2}. Perfect square.
  7. 40: 406.324\sqrt{40} \approx 6.324. Not a perfect square.
  8. 16: 16=4\sqrt{16} = 4. Perfect square.

Final Answer:

The perfect squares are:

  • 64
  • 36
  • 1
  • 14\frac{1}{4}
  • 16
