What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
30 miles
240 miles
40 miles
390 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 = \( 65mph \times 6h \)
390 miles

Solve 5 + (2 + 3) ÷ 3 x 2 - 42

52% Answer Correctly
-7\(\frac{2}{3}\)
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (2 + 3) ÷ 3 x 2 - 42
P: 5 + (5) ÷ 3 x 2 - 42
E: 5 + 5 ÷ 3 x 2 - 16
MD: 5 + \( \frac{5}{3} \) x 2 - 16
MD: 5 + \( \frac{10}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{15}{3} \) + \( \frac{10}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{25}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{25 - 48}{3} \)
\( \frac{-23}{3} \)
-7\(\frac{2}{3}\)
