If a car travels 440 miles in 8 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
25 mph
35 mph
55 mph
70 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{440mi}{8h} \)
55 mph

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 12 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
2%
17%
1%
3%

Solution

You have 12 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{12}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{12 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{1200}{400} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.

April scored 86% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 210 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
72
59
48
60

Solution

April scored 86% on the test meaning she earned 86% of the possible points on the test. There were 210 possible points on the test so she earned 210 x 0.86 = 180 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{180}{3} \) = 60 questions right.


4

What is \( \frac{3}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{8} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
24
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
4
\(\frac{1}{7}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{3}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{8} \) = \( \frac{3}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{1} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{1} \) = \( \frac{3 x 8}{6 x 1} \) = \( \frac{24}{6} \) = 4


5

If a mayor is elected with 86% of the votes cast and 35% of a town's 10,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
2,870
2,660
3,010
3,045

Solution

If 35% of the town's 10,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{35}{100} \)) x 10,000 = \( \frac{350,000}{100} \) = 3,500

The mayor got 86% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{86}{100} \)) x 3,500 = \( \frac{301,000}{100} \) = 3,010 votes.
