How many hours does it take a car to travel 50 miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
6 hours
4 hours
8 hours
2 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 = \( \frac{50mi}{25mph} \)
2 hours

A bread recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2 - 1\(\frac{3}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{16}{8} \) - \( \frac{11}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{5}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

77% Answer Correctly
27
48
8
4

Solution

The factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52] and the factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 52 and 60 have in common.


5

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{5!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
30
9
\( \frac{1}{840} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{4!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)
