2
3
16
8

Solution

The factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80] and the factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 the greatest factor 80 and 24 have in common.

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
61
65
58
53

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(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 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $24, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$28.80
$8.40
$39.60
$15.60

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $24 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$24 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$840}{100} \) = $8.40 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$24.00 + ($24.00 - $8.40)
$24.00 + $15.60
$39.60


4

80% Answer Correctly
z12
z
4z3
3z4

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(z3)4
z(3 * 4)
z12


5

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
