What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
49
41
34
39

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 8

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 + 8
a6 = 33 + 8
a6 = 41


2

Diane scored 77% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 60 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
37
20
23
24

Solution

Diane scored 77% on the test meaning she earned 77% of the possible points on the test. There were 60 possible points on the test so she earned 60 x 0.77 = 46 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{46}{2} \) = 23 questions right.


3

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
25%
30%

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 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%


4

The total water usage for a city is 25,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 67% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
3,800
8,550
8,750
3,400

Solution

67% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (67% - 32%) = 35% more water is used for industrial purposes. 25,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{35}{100} \) x 25,000 gallons = 8,750 gallons.


5

What is \( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{1}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{21}\)
\(\frac{1}{18}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{4}{35}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{3 x 1}{9 x 6} \) = \( \frac{3}{54} \) = \(\frac{1}{18}\)
