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

69% Answer Correctly
53
46
52
37

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

5 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 2-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
1
9
5
6

Solution

There are 2 2-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 2 = 4 total seats. There are 5 people needing transportation leaving 5 - 4 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.


3

If a car travels 50 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
50 mph
55 mph
65 mph
25 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 = \( \frac{50mi}{1h} \)
50 mph


4

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 14?

73% Answer Correctly
42
59
18
60

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 have in common.

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
15%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
