2

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

85% Answer Correctly
1 hour
8 hours
9 hours
7 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


3

What is \( \frac{18\sqrt{28}}{6\sqrt{7}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
4 \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{18\sqrt{28}}{6\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{18}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{28}{7}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)


4

What is 4a4 x 3a6?

75% Answer Correctly
12a10
12a24
7a10
12a6

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

4a4 x 3a6
(4 x 3)a(4 + 6)
12a10


5

A bread recipe calls for 3 cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3 - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{24}{8} \) - \( \frac{12}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{12}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
