How many hours does it take a car to travel 150 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
2 hours
8 hours
9 hours
5 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{150mi}{75mph} \)
2 hours

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 6 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 6 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
156.8
78.2
101.5
141.1

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{6}{100} \) x 6 = \( \frac{6 \times 6}{100} \) = \( \frac{36}{100} \) = 0.36 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 6 - 0.36 = 5.64 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 6 = 18 hours yesterday so you would expect that 18 x 5.64 = 101.5 error free parts were produced yesterday.

The total water usage for a city is 15,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 25% is for personal use and 39% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
11,900
6,200
8,400
2,100

Solution

39% of the water consumption is industrial use and 25% is personal use so (39% - 25%) = 14% more water is used for industrial purposes. 15,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{14}{100} \) x 15,000 gallons = 2,100 gallons.


5

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


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.
