What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?
| 36 | |
| 34 | |
| 37 | |
| 32 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 7
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 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36
What is the greatest common factor of 76 and 36?
| 12 | |
| 24 | |
| 17 | |
| 4 |
The factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76] and the factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 76 and 36 have in common.
How many hours does it take a car to travel 35 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?
| 6 hours | |
| 5 hours | |
| 1 hour | |
| 3 hours |
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 = \( \frac{35mi}{35mph} \)
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?
| 2 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 72 m2 | |
| 50 m2 |
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
