In a class of 29 students, 7 are taking German and 15 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?
| 9 | |
| 23 | |
| 13 | |
| 18 |
The number of students taking German or Spanish is 7 + 15 = 22. Of that group of 22, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 22 - 2 = 20 who are taking at least one language. 29 - 20 = 9 students who are not taking either language.
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?
| 52 | |
| 61 | |
| 67 | |
| 65 |
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
How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
| 2 | |
| 2 | |
| 4 | |
| 6 |
To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{5 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2
A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 5 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 9:1 | |
| 5:8 | |
| 25:2 | |
| 9:2 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 5:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 5:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 25:10 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 10:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 25:10, 10:2 which reduces to 25:2.
What is \( \frac{27\sqrt{36}}{9\sqrt{9}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{27\sqrt{36}}{9\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{27}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)
