1

17 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 4-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
5
8
1
9

Solution

There are 3 4-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 4 = 12 total seats. There are 17 people needing transportation leaving 17 - 12 = 5 who will have to find other transportation.


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 140 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
6 hours
1 hour
9 hours
4 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{140mi}{35mph} \)
4 hours


3

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

69% Answer Correctly
29
34
32
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


4

What is \( \frac{63\sqrt{4}}{9\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{63\sqrt{4}}{9\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{63}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{4}{2}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)


5

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
42
\( \frac{1}{7} \)
12

Solution

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:

\( \frac{4!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 4 \times 3 \)
12
