What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
21
29
26
25

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4

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 + 4
a6 = 17 + 4
a6 = 21


2

If a car travels 90 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
70 mph
50 mph
20 mph
45 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 = \( \frac{90mi}{2h} \)
45 mph


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{16}} \)?

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

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{36}{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{6^2}}{\sqrt{4^2}} \)
\( \frac{6}{4} \)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 165 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
1 hour
3 hours
5 hours
4 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{165mi}{55mph} \)
3 hours

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 32 pounds of food in 4 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 80 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
1
9
6
7

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 32 pounds of food in 4 days that's \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 80 - 32 = 48 more pounds of food to reach 80 pounds total. At 8 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{48}{8} \) = 6 more days.
