How many hours does it take a car to travel 90 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?
| 7 hours | |
| 6 hours | |
| 2 hours | |
| 9 hours |
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 = \( \frac{90mi}{15mph} \)

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 54 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 8 m2 | |
| 2 m2 | |
| 162 m2 | |
| 18 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 54 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 54.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 54
w + h = \( \frac{54}{2} \)
w + h = 27
w = 27 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 27 - 2w
3w = 27
w = \( \frac{27}{3} \)
w = 9
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 9) = 18 and the area = h x w = 9 x 18 = 162 m2
What is -3x3 + 4x3?
| x6 | |
| 7x-3 | |
| 7x3 | |
| x3 |
To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:
-3x3 + 4x3
(-3 + 4)x3
x3
4! = ?
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
3 x 2 x 1 |
A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
