If a car travels 220 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
70 mph
55 mph
25 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 = \( \frac{220mi}{4h} \)
55 mph

Latoya scored 90% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 80 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Latoya answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
50
36
41
39

Solution

Latoya scored 90% on the test meaning she earned 90% of the possible points on the test. There were 80 possible points on the test so she earned 80 x 0.9 = 72 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{72}{2} \) = 36 questions right.


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


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.

11 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
8
6
1
5

Solution

There are 2 5-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 5 = 10 total seats. There are 11 people needing transportation leaving 11 - 10 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.


5

What is \( \frac{21\sqrt{14}}{3\sqrt{7}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{21\sqrt{14}}{3\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{21}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{14}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)
