What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
135 miles
210 miles
125 miles
150 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 = \( 30mph \times 7h \)
210 miles


2

What is the greatest common factor of 72 and 32?

77% Answer Correctly
4
18
8
16

Solution

The factors of 72 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72] and the factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 the greatest factor 72 and 32 have in common.


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{5!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
5
6
210
\( \frac{1}{9} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{6!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6}{1} \)

Solve 4 + (4 + 2) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52

53% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-18\(\frac{3}{5}\)
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1

Solution

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

4 + (4 + 2) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52
P: 4 + (6) ÷ 5 x 2 - 52
E: 4 + 6 ÷ 5 x 2 - 25
MD: 4 + \( \frac{6}{5} \) x 2 - 25
MD: 4 + \( \frac{12}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{20}{5} \) + \( \frac{12}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{32}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{32 - 125}{5} \)
\( \frac{-93}{5} \)
-18\(\frac{3}{5}\)
