What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
325 miles
140 miles
75 miles
455 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 = \( 65mph \times 7h \)
455 miles

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)


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.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $11, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$21.45
$15.95
$16.50
$10.45

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $11 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$11 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$55}{100} \) = $0.55 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$11.00 + ($11.00 - $0.55)
$11.00 + $10.45
$21.45


4

5

What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{7} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{4}{49}\)
\(\frac{1}{18}\)
4

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{7} \) = \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{7}{1} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{7}{1} \) = \( \frac{4 x 7}{7 x 1} \) = \( \frac{28}{7} \) = 4
