What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
150 miles
225 miles
240 miles
270 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 = \( 40mph \times 6h \)
240 miles

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $44, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$81.40
$6.60
$37.40
$57.20

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $44 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$44 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$660}{100} \) = $6.60 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$44.00 + ($44.00 - $6.60)
$44.00 + $37.40
$81.40

If there were a total of 300 raffle tickets sold and you bought 18 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
1%
8%
6%
16%

Solution

You have 18 out of the total of 300 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{18}{300} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{18 \times 100}{300} \) = \( \frac{1800}{300} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
62
54
55
61

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(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 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61

Simplify \( \sqrt{32} \)

62% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{4} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{4} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
