If a car travels 15 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
70 mph
15 mph
30 mph
45 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 = \( \frac{15mi}{1h} \)
15 mph

If there were a total of 250 raffle tickets sold and you bought 7 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
15%
3%
16%
4%

Solution

You have 7 out of the total of 250 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{7}{250} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{7 \times 100}{250} \) = \( \frac{700}{250} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.


5

If \( \left|x + 6\right| \) - 5 = -4, which of these is a possible value for x?

62% Answer Correctly
-5
6
-8
-19

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|x + 6\right| \):

\( \left|x + 6\right| \) - 5 = -4
\( \left|x + 6\right| \) = -4 + 5
\( \left|x + 6\right| \) = 1

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (x + 6) must equal + 1 or -1 for \( \left|x + 6\right| \) to equal 1:

x + 6 = 1
x = 1 - 6
x = -5
x + 6 = -1
x = -1 - 6
x = -7

So, x = -7 or x = -5.
