2

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
490 miles
130 miles
180 miles
150 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 = \( 70mph \times 7h \)
490 miles


3

What is \( \frac{12\sqrt{36}}{4\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
4 \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{12\sqrt{36}}{4\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{12}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)

The total water usage for a city is 45,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 21% is for personal use and 44% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
10,350
8,000
13,200
6,800

Solution

44% of the water consumption is industrial use and 21% is personal use so (44% - 21%) = 23% more water is used for industrial purposes. 45,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{23}{100} \) x 45,000 gallons = 10,350 gallons.


5

In a class of 30 students, 14 are taking German and 5 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 3 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
20
14
25
12

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 14 + 5 = 19. Of that group of 19, 3 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 19 - 3 = 16 who are taking at least one language. 30 - 16 = 14 students who are not taking either language.
