A triathlon course includes a 200m swim, a 30.9km bike ride, and a 14.100000000000001km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
45.6km
34.5km
45.2km
52.1km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 30.9km + 14.100000000000001km
total distance = 45.2km

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
22
14
16
23

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

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 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16


3

What is \( \frac{4}{8} \) + \( \frac{7}{10} \)?

59% Answer Correctly
2 \( \frac{9}{40} \)
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1 \( \frac{5}{40} \)
\( \frac{4}{40} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [40, 80] making 40 the smallest multiple 8 and 10 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{4 x 5}{8 x 5} \) + \( \frac{7 x 4}{10 x 4} \)

\( \frac{20}{40} \) + \( \frac{28}{40} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{20 + 28}{40} \) = \( \frac{48}{40} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)


4

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

least common factor

greatest common factor

absolute value

least common multiple


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $13, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$4.55
$16.25
$21.45
$14.95

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $13 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$13 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$455}{100} \) = $4.55 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$13.00 + ($13.00 - $4.55)
$13.00 + $8.45
$21.45
