1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
31
40
24
34

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 6

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 + 6
a6 = 25 + 6
a6 = 31


2

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

greatest common multiple

absolute value

least common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


3

If a mayor is elected with 70% of the votes cast and 58% of a town's 32,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
14,291
12,992
16,333
12,250

Solution

If 58% of the town's 32,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{58}{100} \)) x 32,000 = \( \frac{1,856,000}{100} \) = 18,560

The mayor got 70% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{70}{100} \)) x 18,560 = \( \frac{1,299,200}{100} \) = 12,992 votes.


4

What is a7 + 9a7?

66% Answer Correctly
10a7
10a14
-8a7
10a-14

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

1a7 + 9a7
(1 + 9)a7
10a7


5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
20%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%
