How many hours does it take a car to travel 90 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
7 hours
6 hours
2 hours
9 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 = \( \frac{90mi}{15mph} \)
6 hours

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?

47% Answer Correctly
8 m2
2 m2
162 m2
18 m2

Solution

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


3

What is -3x3 + 4x3?

66% Answer Correctly
x6
7x-3
7x3
x3

Solution

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

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1


Solution

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.


5

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

least common multiple

least common factor

absolute value


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
