How many hours does it take a car to travel 70 miles at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
9 hours
1 hour
5 hours
4 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 = \( \frac{70mi}{70mph} \)
1 hour

What is 6b2 + 6b2?

66% Answer Correctly
12b4
12b-4
2
12b2

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

6b2 + 6b2
(6 + 6)b2
12b2

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{32} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

35% Answer Correctly
81\( \sqrt{2} \)
45\( \sqrt{2} \)
18\( \sqrt{64} \)
18\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{32} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9)(4)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
36\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

36\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(36 + 9)\( \sqrt{2} \)
45\( \sqrt{2} \)

Betty scored 90% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 60 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
12
22
27
16

Solution

Betty scored 90% on the test meaning she earned 90% of the possible points on the test. There were 60 possible points on the test so she earned 60 x 0.9 = 54 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{54}{2} \) = 27 questions right.
