What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
50 miles
210 miles
195 miles
420 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 = \( 60mph \times 7h \)
420 miles


2

13 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 4-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
5
4
3
6

Solution

There are 2 4-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 4 = 8 total seats. There are 13 people needing transportation leaving 13 - 8 = 5 who will have to find other transportation.


3

What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{3}{56}\)
\(\frac{1}{21}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{6} \) = \( \frac{2 x 2}{6 x 6} \) = \( \frac{4}{36} \) = \(\frac{1}{9}\)


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = b

b0 = 1

all of these are false

b1 = 1


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


5

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
30
\( \frac{1}{210} \)
\( \frac{1}{15120} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)

Solution

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:

\( \frac{6!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \)
