1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
6
10
0
12

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 1

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 + 1
a6 = 5 + 1
a6 = 6


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 150 miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
3 hours
6 hours
1 hour
4 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 = \( \frac{150mi}{25mph} \)
6 hours


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


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.


4

What is \( \frac{1}{7} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
\(\frac{4}{15}\)
\(\frac{3}{16}\)
\(\frac{4}{63}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{1}{7} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \) = \( \frac{1 x 4}{7 x 9} \) = \( \frac{4}{63} \) = \(\frac{4}{63}\)

Ezra loaned Monica $1,200 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,212
$1,284
$1,236
$1,272

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,200
i = 0.06 x $1,200

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,200 + $72
total = $1,272
