If a car travels 55 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
25 mph
20 mph
55 mph
15 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 = \( \frac{55mi}{1h} \)
55 mph

If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 21 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
3%
9%
6%
13%
Solution

You have 21 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{21}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{21 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{2100}{350} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.

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

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

5

Convert c-3 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{c^3} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-3c^{3}} \)
\( \frac{-1}{c^{-3}} \)
\( \frac{-3}{c} \)
Solution

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