If a car travels 490 miles in 7 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
15 mph
70 mph
50 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 = \( \frac{490mi}{7h} \)
70 mph

How many 15-passenger vans will it take to drive all 98 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
11 vans
6 vans
4 vans
7 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{98}{15} \) = 6\(\frac{8}{15}\)

So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.
