2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 210 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
6 hours
2 hours
3 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 = \( \frac{210mi}{35mph} \)
6 hours


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

What is (y2)5?

80% Answer Correctly
2y5
y10
y3
y7

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(y2)5
y(2 * 5)
y10


5

Convert 0.000006 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
6.0 x 10-6
6.0 x 107
6.0 x 10-7
60.0 x 10-7

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

0.000006 in scientific notation is 6.0 x 10-6
