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
4 hours
5 hours
3 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 = \( \frac{210mi}{35mph} \)
6 hours

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
38
46
47
37

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


3

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 6 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
18 m2
162 m2
2 m2
72 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 6 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 6.

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

2w + 2h = 6
w + h = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
w + h = 3
w = 3 - h

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

w = 3 - 2w
3w = 3
w = \( \frac{3}{3} \)
w = 1

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 1) = 2 and the area = h x w = 1 x 2 = 2 m2


4

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

69% Answer Correctly
8
17
5
3

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.

Simplify \( \sqrt{27} \)

62% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{6} \)
9\( \sqrt{6} \)
7\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{27} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)
