What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
250 miles
280 miles
390 miles
315 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 = \( 40mph \times 7h \)
280 miles

What is 5\( \sqrt{5} \) x 2\( \sqrt{8} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
10\( \sqrt{13} \)
20\( \sqrt{10} \)
7\( \sqrt{5} \)
10\( \sqrt{8} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

5\( \sqrt{5} \) x 2\( \sqrt{8} \)
(5 x 2)\( \sqrt{5 \times 8} \)
10\( \sqrt{40} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

10\( \sqrt{40} \)
10\( \sqrt{10 \times 4} \)
10\( \sqrt{10 \times 2^2} \)
(10)(2)\( \sqrt{10} \)
20\( \sqrt{10} \)


3

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 12?

72% Answer Correctly
12
55
41
59

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 6 and 12 have in common.

Alex loaned Latoya $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,090
$1,040
$1,010
$1,030

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,000
i = 0.03 x $1,000

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,000 + $30
total = $1,030


5

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 28 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
5%
11%
7%
16%

Solution

You have 28 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{28}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{28 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{2800}{400} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.
