A triathlon course includes a 200m swim, a 20.5km bike ride, and a 11.5km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
39.4km
40.8km
51.3km
32.2km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 20.5km + 11.5km
total distance = 32.2km


2

Which of these numbers is a factor of 16?

68% Answer Correctly
4
2
10
18

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.


3

What is 5\( \sqrt{4} \) x 7\( \sqrt{2} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{4} \)
70\( \sqrt{2} \)
35\( \sqrt{6} \)
35\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{4} \) x 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
(5 x 7)\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
35\( \sqrt{8} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

35\( \sqrt{8} \)
35\( \sqrt{2 \times 4} \)
35\( \sqrt{2 \times 2^2} \)
(35)(2)\( \sqrt{2} \)
70\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

21 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
1
7
5
6

Solution

There are 4 5-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 5 = 20 total seats. There are 21 people needing transportation leaving 21 - 20 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 75 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
1 hour
9 hours
3 hours
8 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 = \( \frac{75mi}{75mph} \)
1 hour
