1

How many hours does it take a car to travel 240 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
6 hours
8 hours
3 hours
4 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 = \( \frac{240mi}{60mph} \)
4 hours


2

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

69% Answer Correctly
10
21
22
19

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.


3

What is \( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{15}\)
\(\frac{1}{72}\)
\(\frac{4}{21}\)
\(\frac{4}{15}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{9} \) = \( \frac{1 x 1}{8 x 9} \) = \( \frac{1}{72} \) = \(\frac{1}{72}\)


4

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
50 miles
315 miles
600 miles
75 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 = \( 50mph \times 1h \)
50 miles

Damon loaned Latoya $900 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$981
$945
$954
$909

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 $900
i = 0.05 x $900

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $900 + $45
total = $945
