1

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


2

Simplify \( \frac{20}{56} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{5}{14} \)
\( \frac{4}{11} \)
\( \frac{2}{7} \)
\( \frac{5}{6} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 56 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{20}{56} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{56}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{14} \)


3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 50 miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
1 hour
9 hours
7 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 = \( \frac{50mi}{50mph} \)
1 hour

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 36 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
72 m2
2 m2
32 m2
8 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 36 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 36.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 36
w + h = \( \frac{36}{2} \)
w + h = 18
w = 18 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 18 - 2w
3w = 18
w = \( \frac{18}{3} \)
w = 6

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 6) = 12 and the area = h x w = 6 x 12 = 72 m2


5

If a car travels 240 miles in 6 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
45 mph
55 mph
30 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 = \( \frac{240mi}{6h} \)
40 mph
