\( \frac{-1}{-4b} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^4} \)

18 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 4-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
1
2
8
6

Solution

There are 4 4-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 4 = 16 total seats. There are 18 people needing transportation leaving 18 - 16 = 2 who will have to find other transportation.


3

In a class of 32 students, 13 are taking German and 8 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
22
15
25
31

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 13 + 8 = 21. Of that group of 21, 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 21 - 4 = 17 who are taking at least one language. 32 - 17 = 15 students who are not taking either language.


4

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
67
61
58
55

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(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 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61
