What is c6 x 9c7?

75% Answer Correctly
10c6
9c13
9c42
9c

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:

c6 x 9c7
(1 x 9)c(6 + 7)
9c13

How many hours does it take a car to travel 160 miles at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
9 hours
4 hours
3 hours
7 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 = \( \frac{160mi}{40mph} \)
4 hours


4

What is \( \frac{14\sqrt{45}}{2\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{14\sqrt{45}}{2\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{14}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{45}{9}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)

Diane scored 78% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 180 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
46
47
58
52

Solution

Diane scored 78% on the test meaning she earned 78% of the possible points on the test. There were 180 possible points on the test so she earned 180 x 0.78 = 141 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{141}{3} \) = 47 questions right.
