How many hours does it take a car to travel 210 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?
| 6 hours | |
| 4 hours | |
| 5 hours | |
| 3 hours |
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, __________ ?
| 38 | |
| 46 | |
| 47 | |
| 37 |
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
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?
| 18 m2 | |
| 162 m2 | |
| 2 m2 | |
| 72 m2 |
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
Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?
| 8 | |
| 17 | |
| 5 | |
| 3 |
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.
