If a car travels 160 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
70 mph
40 mph
15 mph
20 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{160mi}{4h} \)
40 mph


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

2

9

7

5


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


3

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 48 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
50 m2
128 m2
72 m2
162 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 48 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 48.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 48
w + h = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
w + h = 24
w = 24 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 24 - 2w
3w = 24
w = \( \frac{24}{3} \)
w = 8

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 8) = 16 and the area = h x w = 8 x 16 = 128 m2


4

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 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

Find the average of the following numbers: 10, 4, 11, 3.

74% Answer Correctly
7
4
12
3

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{10 + 4 + 11 + 3}{4} \) = \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7
