What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 4 hours at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
20 miles
45 miles
100 miles
315 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 25mph \times 4h \)
100 miles

If a mayor is elected with 72% of the votes cast and 45% of a town's 48,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
14,472
18,360
14,256
15,552

Solution

If 45% of the town's 48,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{45}{100} \)) x 48,000 = \( \frac{2,160,000}{100} \) = 21,600

The mayor got 72% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{72}{100} \)) x 21,600 = \( \frac{1,555,200}{100} \) = 15,552 votes.
