What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 5 hours at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
150 miles
100 miles
210 miles
350 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 = \( 70mph \times 5h \)
350 miles

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{60480} \)
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)
\( \frac{1}{840} \)
\( \frac{1}{12} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{2!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{12} \)

What is 3a2 - 7a2?

71% Answer Correctly
4a-2
-4a2
4a2
-4a-2

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

3a2 - 7a2
(3 - 7)a2
-4a2

7
6

Solution

To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3
