What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
245 miles
180 miles
525 miles
30 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 75mph \times 7h \)
525 miles

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
26
22
34
30

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26

Jennifer scored 91% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 200 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Jennifer answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
80
104
91
106

Solution

Jennifer scored 91% on the test meaning she earned 91% of the possible points on the test. There were 200 possible points on the test so she earned 200 x 0.91 = 182 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{182}{2} \) = 91 questions right.

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
