1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
12
21
22
15

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4

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
a6 = 17 + 4
a6 = 21


2

What is (y5)2?

80% Answer Correctly
y10
y7
2y5
y3

Solution

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

(y5)2
y(5 * 2)
y10


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
31
32
33
27

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


4

How many 9-passenger vans will it take to drive all 45 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
5 vans
3 vans
9 vans
4 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{45}{9} \) = 5


5

Simplify \( \frac{28}{80} \).

78% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{5}{12} \)
\( \frac{2}{5} \)
\( \frac{7}{20} \)
\( \frac{5}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{28}{80} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{4}}{\frac{80}{4}} \) = \( \frac{7}{20} \)
