1

Find the average of the following numbers: 7, 5, 10, 2.

74% Answer Correctly
4
6
5
7

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{7 + 5 + 10 + 2}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6


2

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{63} \) + \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
20\( \sqrt{63} \)
9\( \sqrt{9} \)
9\( \sqrt{7} \)
19\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

5\( \sqrt{63} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
15\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

15\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(15 + 4)\( \sqrt{7} \)
19\( \sqrt{7} \)

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
9:6
3:4
49:2
3:2

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.


4

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


5

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

69% Answer Correctly
44
38
46
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
