What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 9 hours at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
125 miles
270 miles
70 miles
120 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 = \( 30mph \times 9h \)
270 miles


2

Betty scored 78% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
32
43
31
28

Solution

Betty scored 78% on the test meaning she earned 78% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.78 = 93 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{93}{3} \) = 31 questions right.

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

69% Answer Correctly
31
30
36
32

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


4

If a car travels 30 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
30 mph
45 mph
35 mph
40 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 = \( \frac{30mi}{1h} \)
30 mph


5

Charlie loaned Frank $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$56
$25
$2
$75

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 $1,500
i = 0.05 x $1,500
i = $75
