How many hours does it take a car to travel 450 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
6 hours
7 hours
3 hours
2 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 = \( \frac{450mi}{75mph} \)
6 hours

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{6} \)
7\( \sqrt{6} \)
6\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

If a mayor is elected with 88% of the votes cast and 87% of a town's 40,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
26,100
22,272
26,448
30,624

Solution

If 87% of the town's 40,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{87}{100} \)) x 40,000 = \( \frac{3,480,000}{100} \) = 34,800

The mayor got 88% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{88}{100} \)) x 34,800 = \( \frac{3,062,400}{100} \) = 30,624 votes.
