1

Find the average of the following numbers: 14, 10, 14, 10.

75% Answer Correctly
12
10
7
15

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{14 + 10 + 14 + 10}{4} \) = \( \frac{48}{4} \) = 12


2

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
360 miles
120 miles
130 miles
90 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 = \( 15mph \times 6h \)
90 miles


3

What is -2x5 x x4?

75% Answer Correctly
-2x
-2x4
-x5
-2x9

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-2x5 x x4
(-2 x 1)x(5 + 4)
-2x9


4

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
18\( \sqrt{75} \)
54\( \sqrt{3} \)
18\( \sqrt{3} \)
81\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{75} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(9)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
45\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

45\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(45 + 9)\( \sqrt{3} \)
54\( \sqrt{3} \)


5

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 9 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
9
3
3
4

Solution

To fill a 9 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3
