If a car travels 350 miles in 5 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
75 mph
70 mph
60 mph
35 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{350mi}{5h} \)
70 mph

Convert 6,827,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
6.827 x 106
0.683 x 107
68.27 x 105
6.827 x 10-5

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

6,827,000 in scientific notation is 6.827 x 106


3

What is 6\( \sqrt{3} \) x 6\( \sqrt{8} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
72\( \sqrt{6} \)
36\( \sqrt{8} \)
12\( \sqrt{24} \)
36\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{3} \) x 6\( \sqrt{8} \)
(6 x 6)\( \sqrt{3 \times 8} \)
36\( \sqrt{24} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

36\( \sqrt{24} \)
36\( \sqrt{6 \times 4} \)
36\( \sqrt{6 \times 2^2} \)
(36)(2)\( \sqrt{6} \)
72\( \sqrt{6} \)

How many 10-passenger vans will it take to drive all 53 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
10 vans
4 vans
8 vans
6 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{53}{10} \) = 5\(\frac{3}{10}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.


5

What is \( \frac{4\sqrt{40}}{2\sqrt{8}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4\sqrt{40}}{2\sqrt{8}} \)
\( \frac{4}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{40}{8}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)
