If a car travels 75 miles in 5 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
75 mph
15 mph
55 mph
65 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 = \( \frac{75mi}{5h} \)
15 mph


2

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
2
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{6^2}}{\sqrt{3^2}} \)
\( \frac{6}{3} \)

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{5!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{9} \)
30
6720
\( \frac{1}{60} \)

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:

\( \frac{2!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{60} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $48, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$12.00
$9.60
$21.60
$2.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $48 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$48 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$240}{100} \) = $2.40 on the second shirt.

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
46
39
41
53

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

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(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
