1

How many hours does it take a car to travel 675 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
1 hour
6 hours
9 hours
8 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 = \( \frac{675mi}{75mph} \)
9 hours


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

7

5

2

9


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


3

What is \( \frac{9}{6} \) - \( \frac{2}{10} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{9}{15} \)
1\(\frac{3}{10}\)
\( \frac{5}{12} \)
1 \( \frac{5}{14} \)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{9 x 5}{6 x 5} \) - \( \frac{2 x 3}{10 x 3} \)

\( \frac{45}{30} \) - \( \frac{6}{30} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{45 - 6}{30} \) = \( \frac{39}{30} \) = 1\(\frac{3}{10}\)


4

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

0

-1

1

\({1 \over 2}\)


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 2 hours at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
100 miles
65 miles
330 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 = \( 45mph \times 2h \)
90 miles
