1

21 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
5
1
2
8

Solution

There are 4 5-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 5 = 20 total seats. There are 21 people needing transportation leaving 21 - 20 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.


2

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 20 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
8
9
2
4

Solution

To fill a 20 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 10 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{10 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 4


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{75} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{3} \)
7\( \sqrt{6} \)
8\( \sqrt{3} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{75} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)


4

What is \( \frac{12\sqrt{20}}{6\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{4} \)
4 \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{12\sqrt{20}}{6\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{12}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{20}{5}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)


5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
450 miles
375 miles
50 miles
525 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 = \( 75mph \times 7h \)
525 miles
