11 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 2-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
4
3
8

Solution

There are 4 2-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 2 = 8 total seats. There are 11 people needing transportation leaving 11 - 8 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.


3

If \( \left|x + 5\right| \) - 3 = -2, which of these is a possible value for x?

62% Answer Correctly
-3
-6
-19
-8

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|x + 5\right| \):

\( \left|x + 5\right| \) - 3 = -2
\( \left|x + 5\right| \) = -2 + 3
\( \left|x + 5\right| \) = 1

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (x + 5) must equal + 1 or -1 for \( \left|x + 5\right| \) to equal 1:

x + 5 = 1
x = 1 - 5
x = -4
x + 5 = -1
x = -1 - 5
x = -6

So, x = -6 or x = -4.


4

Find the average of the following numbers: 7, 5, 8, 4.

75% Answer Correctly
2
11
6
68

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{7 + 5 + 8 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 260 miles at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
8 hours
4 hours
9 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 = \( \frac{260mi}{65mph} \)
4 hours
