1

If a car travels 50 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
30 mph
50 mph
15 mph
65 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{50mi}{1h} \)
50 mph


2

What is the greatest common factor of 48 and 20?

77% Answer Correctly
19
17
4
20

Solution

The factors of 48 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48] and the factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 48 and 20 have in common.


3

What is 5\( \sqrt{7} \) x 7\( \sqrt{4} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{7} \)
70\( \sqrt{7} \)
12\( \sqrt{4} \)
35\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{7} \) x 7\( \sqrt{4} \)
(5 x 7)\( \sqrt{7 \times 4} \)
35\( \sqrt{28} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

35\( \sqrt{28} \)
35\( \sqrt{7 \times 4} \)
35\( \sqrt{7 \times 2^2} \)
(35)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \)
70\( \sqrt{7} \)


4

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

greatest common factor

greatest common multiple

absolute value


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


5

What is -3y6 + 8y6?

66% Answer Correctly
5y36
5y12
11y-6
5y6

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-3y6 + 8y6
(-3 + 8)y6
5y6
