What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 4 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
225 miles
210 miles
140 miles
600 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 = \( 35mph \times 4h \)
140 miles


2

If a car travels 330 miles in 6 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
55 mph
65 mph
45 mph
15 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 = \( \frac{330mi}{6h} \)
55 mph

In a class of 28 students, 13 are taking German and 14 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 7 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
8
12
16
19

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 13 + 14 = 27. Of that group of 27, 7 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 27 - 7 = 20 who are taking at least one language. 28 - 20 = 8 students who are not taking either language.

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 36,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
27,000
39,167
27,200
40,000

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

36,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{108000}{4} \) = 27,000 fans.

Frank loaned Damon $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$2
$98
$52
$54

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 $1,300
i = 0.04 x $1,300
i = $52
