How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 9 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
3
7
6
8

Solution

To fill a 9 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3


2

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


3

If a car travels 315 miles in 9 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
15 mph
35 mph
60 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 = \( \frac{315mi}{9h} \)
35 mph


4

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
1 cups
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{5}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{21}{8} \) - \( \frac{12}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{9}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
