What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 4 hours at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
20 miles
135 miles
60 miles
195 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 = \( 15mph \times 4h \)
60 miles

Simplify \( \sqrt{32} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{4} \)
9\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 32?

68% Answer Correctly
2
25
12
34

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
39
31
38
40

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 6

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 + 6
a6 = 25 + 6
a6 = 31


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 33,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
23,333
33,750
24,750
34,167

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

33,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{99000}{4} \) = 24,750 fans.
