How many hours does it take a car to travel 50 miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
6 hours
5 hours
3 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 = \( \frac{50mi}{50mph} \)
1 hour


2

Simplify \( \frac{28}{52} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{6}{19} \)
\( \frac{7}{13} \)
\( \frac{3}{4} \)
\( \frac{7}{15} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] and the factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{28}{52} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{4}}{\frac{52}{4}} \) = \( \frac{7}{13} \)


3

In a class of 27 students, 8 are taking German and 9 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
12
24
10
19

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 8 + 9 = 17. Of that group of 17, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 17 - 2 = 15 who are taking at least one language. 27 - 15 = 12 students who are not taking either language.


4

Convert z-5 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-5z} \)
\( \frac{-1}{z^{-5}} \)
\( \frac{1}{z^5} \)
\( \frac{5}{z} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


5

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

0

\({1 \over 2}\)

-1

1


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.
