What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
11
16
9
12

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

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
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 43,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
26,000
34,400
33,333
22,500

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

43,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{172000}{5} \) = 34,400 fans.

What is 9x7 - 5x7?

71% Answer Correctly
-4x-7
14x7
4x7
14x-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 subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

9x7 - 5x7
(9 - 5)x7
4x7
