1

How many hours does it take a car to travel 140 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
5 hours
8 hours
2 hours
4 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 = \( \frac{140mi}{35mph} \)
4 hours

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 28 pounds of food in 4 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 77 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
5
8
7
10

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 28 pounds of food in 4 days that's \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 77 - 28 = 49 more pounds of food to reach 77 pounds total. At 7 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{49}{7} \) = 7 more days.

5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
46
51
37
45

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
