1

14 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 3-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
5
1
6
66

Solution

There are 3 3-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 3 = 9 total seats. There are 14 people needing transportation leaving 14 - 9 = 5 who will have to find other transportation.


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 195 miles at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
3 hours
9 hours
4 hours
6 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 = \( \frac{195mi}{65mph} \)
3 hours


3

Find the average of the following numbers: 11, 3, 8, 6.

74% Answer Correctly
3
5
11
7

Solution

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

\( \frac{11 + 3 + 8 + 6}{4} \) = \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 45% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
20%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%

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 45% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{45\text{%}}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


5

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

68% Answer Correctly
67
61
65
59

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
