What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?
| 45 miles | |
| 175 miles | |
| 210 miles | |
| 280 miles |
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 distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 45mph \times 1h \)
45 miles
What is \( \frac{2}{2} \) + \( \frac{4}{6} \)?
| 2 \( \frac{5}{14} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{2}{6} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{9}{18} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60]. The first few multiples they share are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30] making 6 the smallest multiple 2 and 6 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{2 x 3}{2 x 3} \) + \( \frac{4 x 1}{6 x 1} \)
\( \frac{6}{6} \) + \( \frac{4}{6} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{6 + 4}{6} \) = \( \frac{10}{6} \) = 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{7} \)?
| 14 | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{25}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{20}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{7} \) = \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{7}{2} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{7}{2} \) = \( \frac{4 x 7}{6 x 2} \) = \( \frac{28}{12} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
What is \( \frac{56\sqrt{28}}{8\sqrt{7}} \)?
| 7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \) | |
| 4 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \) | |
| 7 \( \sqrt{4} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{56\sqrt{28}}{8\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{56}{8} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{28}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)
