How many hours does it take a car to travel 70 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
5 hours
2 hours
7 hours
9 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 = \( \frac{70mi}{35mph} \)
2 hours

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 40,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
40,000
30,000
31,200
26,000

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

40,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{120000}{4} \) = 30,000 fans.

If there were a total of 150 raffle tickets sold and you bought 9 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
6%
9%
14%
7%

Solution

You have 9 out of the total of 150 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{9}{150} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{9 \times 100}{150} \) = \( \frac{900}{150} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.
