1

If a car travels 140 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
20 mph
35 mph
50 mph
60 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 = \( \frac{140mi}{4h} \)
35 mph

If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 21 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
14%
9%
6%
16%

Solution

You have 21 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{21}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{21 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{2100}{350} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.

5

What is \( \frac{4}{2} \) - \( \frac{8}{10} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\( \frac{4}{10} \)
2 \( \frac{7}{10} \)
1 \( \frac{6}{12} \)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{4 x 5}{2 x 5} \) - \( \frac{8 x 1}{10 x 1} \)

\( \frac{20}{10} \) - \( \frac{8}{10} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{20 - 8}{10} \) = \( \frac{12}{10} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
