1

How many hours does it take a car to travel 300 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
4 hours
8 hours
7 hours
5 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 = \( \frac{300mi}{75mph} \)
4 hours


2

What is \( \frac{9}{5} \) + \( \frac{7}{9} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{45} \)
2\(\frac{26}{45}\)
\( \frac{6}{15} \)
2 \( \frac{3}{9} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50] and the first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [45, 90] making 45 the smallest multiple 5 and 9 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{9 x 9}{5 x 9} \) + \( \frac{7 x 5}{9 x 5} \)

\( \frac{81}{45} \) + \( \frac{35}{45} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{81 + 35}{45} \) = \( \frac{116}{45} \) = 2\(\frac{26}{45}\)


3

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


4

Simplify \( \frac{32}{64} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{4} \)
\( \frac{7}{16} \)
\( \frac{4}{7} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 64 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] making 32 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{64} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{32}}{\frac{64}{32}} \) = \( \frac{1}{2} \)


5

What is the greatest common factor of 32 and 80?

77% Answer Correctly
31
4
16
10

Solution

The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 5 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] making 16 the greatest factor 32 and 80 have in common.
