PEDMAS


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


3

The total water usage for a city is 30,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 19% is for personal use and 46% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
8,100
2,600
1,400
17,000

Solution

46% of the water consumption is industrial use and 19% is personal use so (46% - 19%) = 27% more water is used for industrial purposes. 30,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{27}{100} \) x 30,000 gallons = 8,100 gallons.


4

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 39,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
32,500
32,667
24,000
37,600

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:

39,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{195000}{6} \) = 32,500 fans.


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
26
35
29
21

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26
