69% Answer Correctly
8

How many hours does it take a car to travel 135 miles at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
3 hours
5 hours
6 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 = \( \frac{135mi}{45mph} \)
3 hours

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $17, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$26.35
$19.55
$23.80
$9.35

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $17 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$17 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$765}{100} \) = $7.65 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$17.00 + ($17.00 - $7.65)
$17.00 + $9.35
$26.35


4

If a car travels 140 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
35 mph
25 mph
60 mph
55 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 = \( \frac{140mi}{4h} \)
35 mph


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
32
35
31
24

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31
