How many hours does it take a car to travel 560 miles at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
2 hours
8 hours
6 hours
5 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 = \( \frac{560mi}{70mph} \)
8 hours


2

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

all of these are false

b1 = 1

b0 = 1

b1 = b


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


3

If a car travels 315 miles in 9 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
65 mph
75 mph
40 mph
35 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 = \( \frac{315mi}{9h} \)
35 mph

Solve 2 + (5 + 5) ÷ 5 x 2 - 22

53% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)
4
2

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

2 + (5 + 5) ÷ 5 x 2 - 22
P: 2 + (10) ÷ 5 x 2 - 22
E: 2 + 10 ÷ 5 x 2 - 4
MD: 2 + \( \frac{10}{5} \) x 2 - 4
MD: 2 + \( \frac{20}{5} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{10}{5} \) + \( \frac{20}{5} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{30}{5} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{30 - 20}{5} \)
\( \frac{10}{5} \)
2


5

Convert y-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{y^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^2} \)
\( \frac{-1}{y^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{-2}{-y} \)

Solution

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