1

How many hours does it take a car to travel 20 miles at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
9 hours
1 hour
5 hours
7 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 = \( \frac{20mi}{20mph} \)
1 hour


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
15%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{8^2}} \)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)


4

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


5

Solve 3 + (3 + 4) ÷ 5 x 2 - 32

53% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{8}{9}\)
-3\(\frac{1}{5}\)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

3 + (3 + 4) ÷ 5 x 2 - 32
P: 3 + (7) ÷ 5 x 2 - 32
E: 3 + 7 ÷ 5 x 2 - 9
MD: 3 + \( \frac{7}{5} \) x 2 - 9
MD: 3 + \( \frac{14}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{15}{5} \) + \( \frac{14}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{29}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{29 - 45}{5} \)
\( \frac{-16}{5} \)
-3\(\frac{1}{5}\)
