How many hours does it take a car to travel 90 miles at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
3 hours
2 hours
1 hour
7 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 = \( \frac{90mi}{45mph} \)
2 hours


2

If a car travels 150 miles in 5 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
75 mph
50 mph
30 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 = \( \frac{150mi}{5h} \)
30 mph


3

What is -b6 - 7b6?

71% Answer Correctly
6b-12
6b36
8b-6
-8b6

Solution

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

-1b6 - 7b6
(-1 - 7)b6
-8b6


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
25
27
31
34

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


5

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

associative

distributive

PEDMAS

commutative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
