1

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

2

7

5

9


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


2

What is the least common multiple of 3 and 5?

73% Answer Correctly
7
15
4
8

Solution

The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 have in common.

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 37,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
23,250
29,600
30,000
32,667

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:

37,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{148000}{5} \) = 29,600 fans.

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 6 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
162 m2
50 m2
2 m2
8 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 6 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 6.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 6
w + h = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
w + h = 3
w = 3 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 3 - 2w
3w = 3
w = \( \frac{3}{3} \)
w = 1

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 1) = 2 and the area = h x w = 1 x 2 = 2 m2


5

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

69% Answer Correctly
51
55
46
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
