Monica scored 84% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 320 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Monica answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
53
67
56
80

Solution

Monica scored 84% on the test meaning she earned 84% of the possible points on the test. There were 320 possible points on the test so she earned 320 x 0.84 = 268 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{268}{4} \) = 67 questions right.


2

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{64}{36}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{64}{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{8^2}}{\sqrt{6^2}} \)
\( \frac{8}{6} \)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
41
42
36
27

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 7

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 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 4 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 2 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
152.9
139.7
211.2
96.6

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{4}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{4 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{40}{100} \) = 0.4 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.4 = 9.6 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 2 = 22 hours yesterday so you would expect that 22 x 9.6 = 211.2 error free parts were produced yesterday.


5

If a car travels 40 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
30 mph
45 mph
60 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{40mi}{1h} \)
40 mph
