What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 4 hours at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
280 miles
300 miles
70 miles
600 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 = \( 75mph \times 4h \)
300 miles


2

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


3

If \( \left|z + 4\right| \) + 2 = 5, which of these is a possible value for z?

62% Answer Correctly
10
-7
4
19

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|z + 4\right| \):

\( \left|z + 4\right| \) + 2 = 5
\( \left|z + 4\right| \) = 5 - 2
\( \left|z + 4\right| \) = 3

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (z + 4) must equal + 3 or -3 for \( \left|z + 4\right| \) to equal 3:

z + 4 = 3
z = 3 - 4
z = -1
z + 4 = -3
z = -3 - 4
z = -7

So, z = -7 or z = -1.

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 18 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
98 m2
18 m2
128 m2
32 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 18 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 18.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 18
w + h = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
w + h = 9
w = 9 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 9 - 2w
3w = 9
w = \( \frac{9}{3} \)
w = 3

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 3) = 6 and the area = h x w = 3 x 6 = 18 m2


5

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

5

7

2

9


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
