How many hours does it take a car to travel 240 miles at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
1 hour
3 hours
9 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 = \( \frac{240mi}{30mph} \)
8 hours

What is 4\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{9} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{6} \)
24\( \sqrt{6} \)
8\( \sqrt{15} \)
8\( \sqrt{6} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{9} \)
(4 x 2)\( \sqrt{6 \times 9} \)
8\( \sqrt{54} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

8\( \sqrt{54} \)
8\( \sqrt{6 \times 9} \)
8\( \sqrt{6 \times 3^2} \)
(8)(3)\( \sqrt{6} \)
24\( \sqrt{6} \)


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $21, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$9.45
$1.05
$5.25
$7.35

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $21 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$21 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$945}{100} \) = $9.45 on the second shirt.


5

What is (c4)4?

79% Answer Correctly
4c4
c16
c0
c8

Solution

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

(c4)4
c(4 * 4)
c16
