If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 50,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
41,667
32,250
26,667
29,167

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:

50,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{250000}{6} \) = 41,667 fans.

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


3

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

68% Answer Correctly
39
22
38
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

How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 16 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
8
4
3
5

Solution

To fill a 16 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 8 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{8 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 4

Solve 5 + (2 + 4) ÷ 4 x 5 - 32

52% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (2 + 4) ÷ 4 x 5 - 32
P: 5 + (6) ÷ 4 x 5 - 32
E: 5 + 6 ÷ 4 x 5 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{6}{4} \) x 5 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{30}{4} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{20}{4} \) + \( \frac{30}{4} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{50}{4} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{50 - 36}{4} \)
\( \frac{14}{4} \)
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
