Question 1 of 5
A driver drove 305 miles at 65 mph, stopped for 15 minutes, then drove another 162 miles at 80 mph. How long was the trip?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the total trip duration, calculate the driving time for each segment and add the stop time. The driving time for the first segment is 305 miles · 65 mph = 4.69 hours. The driving time for the second segment is 162 miles · 80 mph = 2.025 hours. Adding the 15-minute stop (0.25 hours) gives a total time of 4.69 hours + 2.025 hours + 0.25 hours = 6.965 hours, which is closest to 6.69 hours (Choice B). Option A is incorrect as it miscalculates the total duration. Option C is incorrect as it overestimates the total duration. Option D is incorrect as it underestimates the total duration.
Question 2 of 5
Complete the following equation: 5 + 3 4 - 6 / 2 = ?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve this equation, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): First, perform multiplication and division from left to right. 3 4 equals 12, and 6 / 2 equals 3. Then, carry out addition and subtraction from left to right. 5 + 12 - 3 equals 14, not 9. Therefore, the correct answer is 14, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D can be eliminated as they do not match the correct result obtained by following the order of operations.
Question 3 of 5
In a fraction, which number is the numerator and which is the denominator?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Numerator: top, Denominator: bottom.' In a fraction, the numerator is the top number, representing the part of the whole being considered, while the denominator is the bottom number, indicating the total number of equal parts into which the whole is divided. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they provide inaccurate descriptions of the numerator and denominator positions in a fraction.
Question 4 of 5
What is a direct proportion? What is an inverse proportion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In a direct proportion, both quantities increase or decrease together. This means that as one quantity goes up, the other also goes up, and vice versa. On the other hand, in an inverse proportion, when one quantity increases, the other decreases by the same factor. Therefore, choice A is correct as it accurately defines direct and inverse proportions. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the relationship between quantities in direct and inverse proportions.
Question 5 of 5
What must you always use in all math?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: PEMDAS. PEMDAS stands for the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right). It is a fundamental rule to follow in mathematics to ensure calculations are done correctly. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not encompass the essential rule that PEMDAS provides for solving mathematical expressions.
