A triathlon course includes a 200m swim, a 40.4km bike ride, and a 15.4km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
40.9km
62km
60.8km
56km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 40.4km + 15.4km
total distance = 56km

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

69% Answer Correctly
61
59
53
66

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

If a car travels 300 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
50 mph
45 mph
75 mph
40 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{300mi}{4h} \)
75 mph


4

What is 3a5 - 7a5?

71% Answer Correctly
-4a5
10a10
4a-5
-4a-5

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

3a5 - 7a5
(3 - 7)a5
-4a5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $18, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.60
$6.30
$2.70
$5.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $18 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$18 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$540}{100} \) = $5.40 on the second shirt.
