Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{70mi}{35mph} \)
2 hours

The equation for this sequence is:

a_n = a_n-1 + 2(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, a_n is the value of the term, and a_n-1 is the value of the term before a_n. This makes the next number:

a₆ = a₅ + 2(6 - 1)
a₆ = 21 + 2(5)
a₆ = 31

Diane scored 84% on the test meaning she earned 84% of the possible points on the test. There were 140 possible points on the test so she earned 140 x 0.84 = 118 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{118}{2} \) = 59 questions right.

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 16 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] and the factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{16}{60} \) = \( \frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{60}{4}} \) = \( \frac{4}{15} \)
