1

If a car travels 50 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
25 mph
50 mph
26
70 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{50mi}{2h} \)
25 mph


2

What is 5c5 x 8c2?

75% Answer Correctly
13c5
40c5
40c2
40c7

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:

5c5 x 8c2
(5 x 8)c(5 + 2)
40c7


3

Simplify \( \frac{28}{68} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{17} \)
\( \frac{7}{18} \)
\( \frac{3}{8} \)
\( \frac{5}{11} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{28}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{7}{17} \)

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
13
10
16
22

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

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

a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 77 pounds of food in 7 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
12
9
8
5

Solution

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