How many hours does it take a car to travel 270 miles at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

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

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 = \( \frac{270mi}{45mph} \)
6 hours

What is 4\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{8} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{48} \)
32\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{6} \)
6\( \sqrt{8} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{8} \)
(4 x 2)\( \sqrt{6 \times 8} \)
8\( \sqrt{48} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

8\( \sqrt{48} \)
8\( \sqrt{3 \times 16} \)
8\( \sqrt{3 \times 4^2} \)
(8)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \)
32\( \sqrt{3} \)

The total water usage for a city is 50,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 26% is for personal use and 54% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
14,000
4,200
9,800
7,600

Solution

54% of the water consumption is industrial use and 26% is personal use so (54% - 26%) = 28% more water is used for industrial purposes. 50,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{28}{100} \) x 50,000 gallons = 14,000 gallons.
