What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 10, 19, 28, 37, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
46
41
52
37

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 9

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 + 9
a6 = 37 + 9
a6 = 46


2

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

integer

improper fraction

mixed number

fraction


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


3

Solve 5 + (5 + 3) ÷ 3 x 3 - 42

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{7}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
1
-3

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (5 + 3) ÷ 3 x 3 - 42
P: 5 + (8) ÷ 3 x 3 - 42
E: 5 + 8 ÷ 3 x 3 - 16
MD: 5 + \( \frac{8}{3} \) x 3 - 16
MD: 5 + \( \frac{24}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{15}{3} \) + \( \frac{24}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{39}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{39 - 48}{3} \)
\( \frac{-9}{3} \)
-3


4

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 46,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
32,000
24,000
36,800
28,500

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

46,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{184000}{5} \) = 36,800 fans.


5

What is \( \frac{2c^9}{4c^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)c13
\(\frac{1}{2}\)c5
\(\frac{1}{2}\)c\(\frac{4}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)c2\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{2c^9}{4c^4} \)
\( \frac{2}{4} \) c(9 - 4)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)c5
