17 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?
| 1 | |
| 8 | |
| 7 | |

There are 3 5-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 5 = 15 total seats. There are 17 people needing transportation leaving 17 - 15 = 2 who will have to find other transportation.
If \( \left|c + 0\right| \) - 6 = -1, which of these is a possible value for c?
| 2 | |
| 1 | |
| -8 | |
| 5 |
First, solve for \( \left|c + 0\right| \):
\( \left|c + 0\right| \) - 6 = -1
\( \left|c + 0\right| \) = -1 + 6
\( \left|c + 0\right| \) = 5
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (c + 0) must equal + 5 or -5 for \( \left|c + 0\right| \) to equal 5:
| c + 0 = 5 c = 5 + 0 c = 5 | c + 0 = -5 c = -5 + 0 c = -5 |
So, c = -5 or c = 5.
Solve for \( \frac{6!}{3!} \)

| 120 | |
| \( \frac{1}{8} \) | |
| 15120 |
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \)
120
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?
| 22 | |
| 31 | |
| 27 | |
| 38 |
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
What is \( \frac{3}{7} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| 1 | |
| \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) |
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{3}{7} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{7 x 9} \) = \( \frac{9}{63} \) = \(\frac{1}{7}\)
