What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 2 hours at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
60 miles
350 miles
75 miles
520 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 = \( 30mph \times 2h \)
60 miles


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

Find the average of the following numbers: 15, 13, 16, 12.

75% Answer Correctly
17
18
13
14

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{15 + 13 + 16 + 12}{4} \) = \( \frac{56}{4} \) = 14


4

What is -5c5 - 7c5?

71% Answer Correctly
-12c-5
2c5
-12c5
12c5

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-5c5 - 7c5
(-5 - 7)c5
-12c5


5

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

69% Answer Correctly
23
31
29
22

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
