1

If a car travels 315 miles in 9 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
15 mph
35 mph
55 mph
40 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 = \( \frac{315mi}{9h} \)
35 mph


2

What is \( \frac{14\sqrt{63}}{2\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{14\sqrt{63}}{2\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{14}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{63}{9}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{7} \)


3

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


4

Convert y-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{y^2} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-2y^{2}} \)
\( \frac{-1}{y^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{-2}{-y} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


5

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
