How many hours does it take a car to travel 100 miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?
| 7 hours | |
| 4 hours | |
| 1 hour | |
| 8 hours |
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 = \( \frac{100mi}{25mph} \)
4 hours
What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{50} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)
| 40\( \sqrt{50} \) | |
| 35\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{25} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
8\( \sqrt{50} \) - 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \) - 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \) - 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
(8)(5)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
40\( \sqrt{2} \) - 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
40\( \sqrt{2} \) - 5\( \sqrt{2} \)Which of the following is a mixed number?
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({5 \over 7} \) |
|
\({7 \over 5} \) |
|
\({a \over 5} \) |
A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
Solve for \( \frac{3!}{6!} \)
| 336 | |
| 120 | |
| \( \frac{1}{120} \) | |
| 15120 |
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{3!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5 \times 4} \)
\( \frac{1}{120} \)
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 49,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 29,250 | |
| 39,200 | |
| 31,333 | |
| 30,000 |
A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
49,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{196000}{5} \) = 39,200 fans.
