Betty scored 80% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
40
17
37
32

Solution

Betty scored 80% on the test meaning she earned 80% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.8 = 96 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{96}{3} \) = 32 questions right.

What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{80} \) - \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

38% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{80} \)
21\( \sqrt{80} \)
21\( \sqrt{5} \)
25\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

7\( \sqrt{80} \) - 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{16 \times 5} \) - 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 5} \) - 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
(7)(4)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
28\( \sqrt{5} \) - 3\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

28\( \sqrt{5} \) - 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
(28 - 3)\( \sqrt{5} \)
25\( \sqrt{5} \)


3

What is (z5)2?

80% Answer Correctly
z10
z7
z-3
2z5

Solution

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

(z5)2
z(5 * 2)
z10


4

How many 13-passenger vans will it take to drive all 62 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
5 vans
10 vans
6 vans
7 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{62}{13} \) = 4\(\frac{10}{13}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.

If a car travels 455 miles in 7 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
45 mph
40 mph
65 mph
75 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 = \( \frac{455mi}{7h} \)
65 mph
