If a car travels 25 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
55 mph
65 mph
25 mph
35 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 = \( \frac{25mi}{1h} \)
25 mph


2

What is (y2)2?

79% Answer Correctly
2y2
y4
y0
19

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(y2)2
y(2 * 2)
y4


3

75% Answer Correctly
5
1
9
2

Solution

There are 2 5-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 5 = 10 total seats. There are 11 people needing transportation leaving 11 - 10 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.


4

What is \( \frac{40\sqrt{27}}{8\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{40\sqrt{27}}{8\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{40}{8} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{27}{9}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{3} \)


5

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
