What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
200 miles
440 miles
250 miles
300 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 = \( 55mph \times 8h \)
440 miles

5

In a class of 33 students, 12 are taking German and 13 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
22
10
29
32

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 12 + 13 = 25. Of that group of 25, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 25 - 2 = 23 who are taking at least one language. 33 - 23 = 10 students who are not taking either language.
