What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 3 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
275 miles
105 miles
600 miles
225 miles

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 35mph \times 3h \)
105 miles


2

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.

Christine scored 88% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 200 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
52
44
51
29

Solution

Christine scored 88% on the test meaning she earned 88% of the possible points on the test. There were 200 possible points on the test so she earned 200 x 0.88 = 176 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{176}{4} \) = 44 questions right.

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 25 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
9
3
5
10

Solution

To fill a 25 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 12\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{12\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5


5

If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?

67% Answer Correctly

none of these is correct

a = 7 or a = -7

a = 7

a = -7


Solution

The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
