How many 6-passenger vans will it take to drive all 71 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
12 vans
10 vans
3 vans
7 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{71}{6} \) = 11\(\frac{5}{6}\)

So, it will take 11 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 12 vans.

3

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 3 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
120 miles
105 miles
180 miles
45 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 = \( 35mph \times 3h \)
105 miles


4

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


5
