1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
19
10
11
17

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2
a6 = 9 + 2
a6 = 11


2

What is \( \frac{6z^6}{7z^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)z10
\(\frac{6}{7}\)z2
\(\frac{6}{7}\)z\(\frac{2}{3}\)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)z2

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{6z^6}{7z^4} \)
\( \frac{6}{7} \) z(6 - 4)
\(\frac{6}{7}\)z2


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 32?

68% Answer Correctly
6
11
29
1

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.


4

What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{1}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{27}\)
\(\frac{1}{14}\)
\(\frac{4}{15}\)
\(\frac{1}{18}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{2 x 1}{6 x 6} \) = \( \frac{2}{36} \) = \(\frac{1}{18}\)


5

In a class of 15 students, 7 are taking German and 6 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 4 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
15
6
12
13

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 7 + 6 = 13. Of that group of 13, 4 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 13 - 4 = 9 who are taking at least one language. 15 - 9 = 6 students who are not taking either language.
