How many 9-passenger vans will it take to drive all 34 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
7 vans
3 vans
4 vans
5 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{34}{9} \) = 3\(\frac{7}{9}\)

So, it will take 3 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 4 vans.

If a mayor is elected with 75% of the votes cast and 43% of a town's 11,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
3,973
3,737
3,548
2,838

Solution

If 43% of the town's 11,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{43}{100} \)) x 11,000 = \( \frac{473,000}{100} \) = 4,730

The mayor got 75% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{75}{100} \)) x 4,730 = \( \frac{354,750}{100} \) = 3,548 votes.


3

If a car travels 15 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
70 mph
15 mph
60 mph
35 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 = \( \frac{15mi}{1h} \)
15 mph


4

What is 2x6 + 3x6?

66% Answer Correctly
5x36
5x-12
-x-6
5x6

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:

2x6 + 3x6
(2 + 3)x6
5x6


5

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

69% Answer Correctly
31
27
40
29

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
