2

If a car travels 80 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
30 mph
40 mph
25 mph
45 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 = \( \frac{80mi}{2h} \)
40 mph


3

What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) - \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

38% Answer Correctly
21\( \sqrt{9} \)
-4\( \sqrt{45} \)
-4\( \sqrt{225} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

3\( \sqrt{45} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
(3)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

9\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
(9 - 7)\( \sqrt{5} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)


4

How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 8 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
8
4
2
2

Solution

To fill a 8 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


5

Convert b-2 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{b^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{2}{b} \)
\( \frac{-2}{b} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^2} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.
