If a car travels 100 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
50 mph
30 mph
20 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{100mi}{2h} \)
50 mph

13 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
8
4
3
6

Solution

There are 2 5-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 5 = 10 total seats. There are 13 people needing transportation leaving 13 - 10 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.


3

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 112 pounds of food in 8 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 196 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
1
6
4
10

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 112 pounds of food in 8 days that's \( \frac{112}{8} \) = 14 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 196 - 112 = 84 more pounds of food to reach 196 pounds total. At 14 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{84}{14} \) = 6 more days.


4

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{5!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
120
6720
\( \frac{1}{5} \)
42

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{4!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
34
38
31
30

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31
