1

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{49}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{4}{7}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{49}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{49}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{7^2}} \)
\(\frac{4}{7}\)


2

3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
31
36
44
37

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 7

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 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 315 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
7 hours
9 hours
3 hours
8 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 = \( \frac{315mi}{35mph} \)
9 hours


5

If there were a total of 50 raffle tickets sold and you bought 2 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
5%
4%
17%
11%

Solution

You have 2 out of the total of 50 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{2}{50} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{2 \times 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{200}{50} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.
