A triathlon course includes a 300m swim, a 20.2km bike ride, and a 5.3km run. What is the total length of the race course?
| 32.2km | |
| 46.8km | |
| 53.8km | |
| 25.8km |
To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 300 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.3km then add the remaining distances:
total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.3km + 20.2km + 5.3km
total distance = 25.8km
How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 12 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 6 | |
| 4 |
To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 4
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?
| 140 miles | |
| 385 miles | |
| 560 miles | |
| 675 miles |
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 = \( 70mph \times 8h \)
560 miles
If a mayor is elected with 74% of the votes cast and 38% of a town's 19,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?
| 4,549 | |
| 6,354 | |
| 5,343 | |
| 3,682 |
If 38% of the town's 19,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:
(\( \frac{38}{100} \)) x 19,000 = \( \frac{722,000}{100} \) = 7,220
The mayor got 74% of the votes cast which is:
(\( \frac{74}{100} \)) x 7,220 = \( \frac{534,280}{100} \) = 5,343 votes.
Diane scored 83% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 240 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?
| 48 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 | |
| 50 |
Diane scored 83% on the test meaning she earned 83% of the possible points on the test. There were 240 possible points on the test so she earned 240 x 0.83 = 200 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{200}{4} \) = 50 questions right.
