What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 3 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
70 miles
120 miles
360 miles
330 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 40mph \times 3h \)
120 miles

Alex loaned Latoya $800 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$864
$832
$808
$816

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $800
i = 0.04 x $800

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $800 + $32
total = $832

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 34,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
25,500
27,333
30,000
35,833

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

34,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{102000}{4} \) = 25,500 fans.

5

If a mayor is elected with 51% of the votes cast and 76% of a town's 19,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
7,364
9,242
12,418
8,231

Solution

If 76% of the town's 19,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{76}{100} \)) x 19,000 = \( \frac{1,444,000}{100} \) = 14,440

The mayor got 51% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{51}{100} \)) x 14,440 = \( \frac{736,440}{100} \) = 7,364 votes.
