1

If a car travels 325 miles in 5 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
55 mph
60 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 = \( \frac{325mi}{5h} \)
65 mph


2

Convert c-5 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{c^{-5}} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^{-5}} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-5c} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^5} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
23
12
14
16

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

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 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16


5

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

least common factor

absolute value

greatest common factor


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
