Convert 1,184,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
1.184 x 10-6
11.84 x 105
1.184 x 10-5
1.184 x 106

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

1,184,000 in scientific notation is 1.184 x 106


2

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 5 hours at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
30 miles
90 miles
585 miles
325 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 65mph \times 5h \)
325 miles

4

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 5 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 9 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 3 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
179.6
140.8
92.1
111.7

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{5}{100} \) x 9 = \( \frac{5 \times 9}{100} \) = \( \frac{45}{100} \) = 0.45 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 9 - 0.45 = 8.55 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 3 = 21 hours yesterday so you would expect that 21 x 8.55 = 179.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.


5

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 12?

72% Answer Correctly
12
67
54
29

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 6 and 12 have in common.
