1

How many hours does it take a car to travel 150 miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
8 hours
3 hours
1 hour
9 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 = \( \frac{150mi}{50mph} \)
3 hours


2

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

fraction

improper fraction

integer

mixed number


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


3

What is \( \frac{49\sqrt{10}}{7\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{49\sqrt{10}}{7\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{49}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{10}{5}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)


4

If a car travels 175 miles in 5 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
20 mph
40 mph
35 mph
55 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 = \( \frac{175mi}{5h} \)
35 mph


5

Convert y-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-2}{y} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^2} \)
\( \frac{2}{y} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-2y} \)

Solution

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