57% Answer Correctly
74
69

80

Solution

Betty scored 77% on the test meaning she earned 77% of the possible points on the test. There were 360 possible points on the test so she earned 360 x 0.77 = 276 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{276}{4} \) = 69 questions right.

How many hours does it take a car to travel 55 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
6 hours
1 hour
4 hours
8 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 = \( \frac{55mi}{55mph} \)
1 hour

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
3:1
49:2
3:6
5:4

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.
