What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
200 miles
420 miles
240 miles
300 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 = \( 50mph \times 6h \)
300 miles

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 55 pounds of food in 5 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 132 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
6
8
4
7

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 55 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{55}{5} \) = 11 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 132 - 55 = 77 more pounds of food to reach 132 pounds total. At 11 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{77}{11} \) = 7 more days.


3

What is -4b3 + 3b3?

66% Answer Correctly
7b3
7b-3
-7b-3
-b3

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-4b3 + 3b3
(-4 + 3)b3
-b3


4

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{60480} \)
\( \frac{1}{42} \)
\( \frac{1}{360} \)
4

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{2!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{360} \)


5
