What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
175 miles
495 miles
440 miles
45 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 = \( 55mph \times 8h \)
440 miles

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 120 pounds of food in 10 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 168 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
8
14
12
4
Solution

If the tiger has consumed 120 pounds of food in 10 days that's \( \frac{120}{10} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 168 - 120 = 48 more pounds of food to reach 168 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{48}{12} \) = 4 more days.

4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

46% Answer Correctly

b0 = 1

b1 = 1

b1 = b

all of these are false
Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly

2
Solution

To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{5 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2
