How many hours does it take a car to travel 130 miles at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
2 hours
5 hours
9 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 = \( \frac{130mi}{65mph} \)
2 hours

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{3}{4}\) - 1\(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{30}{8} \) - \( \frac{13}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{17}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
49
44
47
46

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


4

What is \( \frac{9\sqrt{6}}{3\sqrt{3}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{9\sqrt{6}}{3\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{9}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{6}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)


5

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
