12 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 2-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
9
4
2

Solve 5 + (4 + 4) ÷ 5 x 4 - 32

52% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{2}{5}\)
4
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Solution

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

5 + (4 + 4) ÷ 5 x 4 - 32
P: 5 + (8) ÷ 5 x 4 - 32
E: 5 + 8 ÷ 5 x 4 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{8}{5} \) x 4 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{32}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{25}{5} \) + \( \frac{32}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{57}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{57 - 45}{5} \)
\( \frac{12}{5} \)
2\(\frac{2}{5}\)


3

Charlie loaned Frank $700 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$35
$2
$1
$108

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $700
i = 0.05 x $700
i = $35


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
46
43
52
40

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


5

What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{4}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{63}\)
2\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{10}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{4}{8} \) = \( \frac{3 x 4}{5 x 8} \) = \( \frac{12}{40} \) = \(\frac{3}{10}\)
