What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 2 hours at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly

	455 miles
	195 miles
	50 miles
	60 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 = \( 30mph \times 2h \)
60 miles

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly

	1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
	2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
	1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
	2 cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{17}{8} \) - \( \frac{1}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{16}{8} \) cups
2 cups

What is (z⁵)⁵?

80% Answer Correctly

	z⁰
	5z⁵
	z²⁵
	z¹⁰

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(z⁵)⁵
z^{(5 * 5)}
z²⁵

How many 15-passenger vans will it take to drive all 63 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly

	7 vans
	4 vans
	5 vans
	11 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{63}{15} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{5}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

	\({7 \over 5} \)
	\({5 \over 7} \)
	\(1 {2 \over 5} \)
	\({a \over 5} \)

Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
