How many hours does it take a car to travel 180 miles at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
4 hours
5 hours
9 hours
1 hour

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 = \( \frac{180mi}{20mph} \)
9 hours

If a mayor is elected with 75% of the votes cast and 58% of a town's 47,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

50% Answer Correctly
23,444
22,898
20,445
16,083

Solution

If 58% of the town's 47,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{58}{100} \)) x 47,000 = \( \frac{2,726,000}{100} \) = 27,260

The mayor got 75% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{75}{100} \)) x 27,260 = \( \frac{2,044,500}{100} \) = 20,445 votes.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $12, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.60
$5.40
$4.80
$1.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $12 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$12 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$360}{100} \) = $3.60 on the second shirt.

Simplify \( \sqrt{48} \)

62% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \)
5\( \sqrt{6} \)
9\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{48} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 3} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \)
