If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 46,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
38,333
23,333
40,000
38,400

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

46,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{230000}{6} \) = 38,333 fans.

If a car travels 420 miles in 7 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
45 mph
60 mph
25 mph
15 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{420mi}{7h} \)
60 mph

5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
39
24
30
31

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31
