If a car travels 245 miles in 7 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
35 mph
65 mph
15 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 = \( \frac{245mi}{7h} \)
35 mph


2

What is 3\( \sqrt{4} \) x 3\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{4} \)
6\( \sqrt{20} \)
9\( \sqrt{4} \)
18\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{4} \) x 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
(3 x 3)\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \)
9\( \sqrt{20} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

9\( \sqrt{20} \)
9\( \sqrt{5 \times 4} \)
9\( \sqrt{5 \times 2^2} \)
(9)(2)\( \sqrt{5} \)
18\( \sqrt{5} \)


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)


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

Charlie loaned Frank $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$54
$9
$91
$40

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,000
i = 0.04 x $1,000
i = $40


5

If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 31 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
13%
3%
10%
9%

Solution

You have 31 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{31}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{31 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{3100}{350} \) = 9% chance to win the raffle.
