1

If a car travels 50 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
20 mph
45 mph
75 mph
25 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 = \( \frac{50mi}{2h} \)
25 mph


2

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{5}{7}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{5^2}} \)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)


3

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

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

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

5

What is the greatest common factor of 36 and 68?

77% Answer Correctly
8
15
4
20

Solution

The factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 36 and 68 have in common.
