If a car travels 210 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
30 mph
25 mph
45 mph
70 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 = \( \frac{210mi}{3h} \)
70 mph

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $11, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$18.15
$12.65
$7.15
$3.85

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $11 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$11 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$385}{100} \) = $3.85 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$11.00 + ($11.00 - $3.85)
$11.00 + $7.15
$18.15

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
5:6
49:2
24
3:8

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
15120
6720
360
\( \frac{1}{60480} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{6!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \)
360
