How many hours does it take a car to travel 105 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
1 hour
2 hours
6 hours
7 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{105mi}{15mph} \)
7 hours

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

associative

commutative

PEDMAS

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


3

How many 15-passenger vans will it take to drive all 57 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
10 vans
3 vans
4 vans
8 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{57}{15} \) = 3\(\frac{4}{5}\)

So, it will take 3 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 4 vans.


4

Diane scored 83% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 60 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
25
30
13
20

Solution

Diane scored 83% on the test meaning she earned 83% of the possible points on the test. There were 60 possible points on the test so she earned 60 x 0.83 = 50 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{50}{2} \) = 25 questions right.


5

If \( \left|c - 8\right| \) - 7 = 2, which of these is a possible value for c?

62% Answer Correctly
2
-3
-19
17

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|c - 8\right| \):

\( \left|c - 8\right| \) - 7 = 2
\( \left|c - 8\right| \) = 2 + 7
\( \left|c - 8\right| \) = 9

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (c - 8) must equal + 9 or -9 for \( \left|c - 8\right| \) to equal 9:

c - 8 = 9
c = 9 + 8
c = 17
c - 8 = -9
c = -9 + 8
c = -1

So, c = -1 or c = 17.
