1

How many hours does it take a car to travel 50 miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
3 hours
9 hours
1 hour
5 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{50mi}{50mph} \)
1 hour


2

In a class of 21 students, 6 are taking German and 6 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
15
21
20
12

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 6 + 6 = 12. Of that group of 12, 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 12 - 3 = 9 who are taking at least one language. 21 - 9 = 12 students who are not taking either language.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $46, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$13.80
$4.60
$6.90
$2.30

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $46 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$46 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$690}{100} \) = $6.90 on the second shirt.
