What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
70 miles
90 miles
350 miles
120 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 = \( 20mph \times 6h \)
120 miles

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 6 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
98 m2
32 m2
2 m2
162 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 6 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 6.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 6
w + h = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
w + h = 3
w = 3 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 3 - 2w
3w = 3
w = \( \frac{3}{3} \)
w = 1

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 1) = 2 and the area = h x w = 1 x 2 = 2 m2


3

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

5

7

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.


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 250 miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
5 hours
8 hours
6 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 = \( \frac{250mi}{50mph} \)
5 hours


5

What is \( \frac{21\sqrt{10}}{3\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
2 \( \sqrt{7} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{21\sqrt{10}}{3\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{21}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{10}{5}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)
