Betty scored 83% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 240 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
64
36
45
50

Solution

Betty scored 83% on the test meaning she earned 83% of the possible points on the test. There were 240 possible points on the test so she earned 240 x 0.83 = 200 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{200}{4} \) = 50 questions right.


2

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{4}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{2^2}} \)
\( \frac{7}{2} \)
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

What is the greatest common factor of 20 and 48?

77% Answer Correctly
12
8
2
4

Solution

The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 48 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 20 and 48 have in common.

Monty loaned April $600 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$606
$648
$612
$624

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 $600
i = 0.01 x $600

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $600 + $6
total = $606

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

69% Answer Correctly
46
55
52
49

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
