What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
70 miles
560 miles
455 miles
90 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 = \( 65mph \times 7h \)
455 miles

How many 6-passenger vans will it take to drive all 83 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
14 vans
4 vans
5 vans
11 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{83}{6} \) = 13\(\frac{5}{6}\)

So, it will take 13 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 14 vans.


3

What is 6c5 x c3?

75% Answer Correctly
6c15
7c8
6c-2
6c8

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

6c5 x c3
(6 x 1)c(5 + 3)
6c8


4

least common factor

least common multiple


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 35% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 40% of his shots. If the guard takes 30 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
43
25
26
34

Solution
If the guard hits 40% of his shots and takes 30 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 30 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{40 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{1200}{100} \) = 12 shots

The center makes 35% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{12}{\frac{35}{100}} \) = 12 x \( \frac{100}{35} \) = \( \frac{12 x 100}{35} \) = \( \frac{1200}{35} \) = 34 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
