What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
55 miles
600 miles
30 miles
125 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 = \( 30mph \times 1h \)
30 miles

What is 9x5 + x5?

66% Answer Correctly
10x5
8x-5
-8x5
-8x-5

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

9x5 + 1x5
(9 + 1)x5
10x5

Alex loaned Monica $700 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$714
$735
$707
$756

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $700
i = 0.01 x $700

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $700 + $7
total = $707

If all of a roofing company's 6 workers are required to staff 2 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 5 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
10
4
9
19

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 6 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 2 crews so there are \( \frac{6}{2} \) = 3 workers on a crew. 5 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 3 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 5 x 3 = 15 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 6 workers so they need to add 15 - 6 = 9 new staff for the busy season.
