How many hours does it take a car to travel 200 miles at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
3 hours
6 hours
4 hours
5 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{200mi}{40mph} \)
5 hours


2

Convert z-3 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{z^{-3}} \)
\( \frac{-3}{z} \)
\( \frac{1}{z^3} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-3z^{3}} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


3

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


4

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

improper fraction

Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


5

What is 8y7 + 5y7?

66% Answer Correctly
13y49
13y7
3y7
13y-14

Solution

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

8y7 + 5y7
(8 + 5)y7
13y7
