What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
560 miles
160 miles
50 miles
225 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 = \( 70mph \times 8h \)
560 miles

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{5!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
5
15120
\( \frac{1}{60} \)
\( \frac{1}{120} \)

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:

\( \frac{2!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{60} \)


4

Solution

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


5

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

92% Answer Correctly
9
22
21
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
