What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
75 miles
110 miles
455 miles
315 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 65mph \times 7h \)
455 miles

3

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


4

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 12?

72% Answer Correctly
9
12
44
10

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 6 and 12 have in common.


5

What is the greatest common factor of 20 and 72?

77% Answer Correctly
12
15
11
4

Solution

The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 72 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 20 and 72 have in common.
