How many 15-passenger vans will it take to drive all 96 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
7 vans
3 vans
6 vans
5 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{96}{15} \) = 6\(\frac{2}{5}\)

So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 2 hours at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
200 miles
225 miles
40 miles
150 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 20mph \times 2h \)
40 miles


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
37
49
46
47

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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.

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 30 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
50 m2
98 m2
32 m2
72 m2

Solution

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 30 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 30.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 30
w + h = \( \frac{30}{2} \)
w + h = 15
w = 15 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 15 - 2w
3w = 15
w = \( \frac{15}{3} \)
w = 5

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 5) = 10 and the area = h x w = 5 x 10 = 50 m2
