1

If a car travels 140 miles in 7 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
55 mph
25 mph
75 mph
20 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 = \( \frac{140mi}{7h} \)
20 mph


2

What is (x2)4?

80% Answer Correctly
x8
x-2
x6
x2

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(x2)4
x(2 * 4)
x8


3

What is \( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{3}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{8}{15}\)
\(\frac{4}{27}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{3}{8} \) = \( \frac{4 x 3}{9 x 8} \) = \( \frac{12}{72} \) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)


4

What is 7c5 + 5c5?

66% Answer Correctly
12c5
12c25
12c10
-2c5

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

7c5 + 5c5
(7 + 5)c5
12c5


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{81}{16}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{81}{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9^2}}{\sqrt{4^2}} \)
\( \frac{9}{4} \)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
