How many hours does it take a car to travel 375 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
6 hours
4 hours
5 hours
1 hour

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 = \( \frac{375mi}{75mph} \)
5 hours


2

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

59% Answer Correctly

commutative

distributive

associative

PEDMAS


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.

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 50% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 60% of his shots. If the guard takes 10 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
12
22
29
17

Solution
If the guard hits 60% of his shots and takes 10 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 10 x \( \frac{60}{100} \) = \( \frac{60 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{600}{100} \) = 6 shots

The center makes 50% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{6}{\frac{50}{100}} \) = 6 x \( \frac{100}{50} \) = \( \frac{6 x 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{600}{50} \) = 12 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.

What is 3b6 x 2b2?

75% Answer Correctly
6b8
5b6
5b8
6b6

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

3b6 x 2b2
(3 x 2)b(6 + 2)
6b8


5

What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{125} \) + \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
32\( \sqrt{5} \)
12\( \sqrt{25} \)
8\( \sqrt{5} \)
12\( \sqrt{625} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

6\( \sqrt{125} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
6\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
6\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(6)(5)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
30\( \sqrt{5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

30\( \sqrt{5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(30 + 2)\( \sqrt{5} \)
32\( \sqrt{5} \)
