If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 9 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
2%
4%
14%
8%

Solution

You have 9 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{9}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{9 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{900}{450} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.


2

Convert x-2 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-2}{x} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-2x} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^2} \)
\( \frac{-2}{-x} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


3

If a car travels 45 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
20 mph
45 mph
70 mph
15 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 = \( \frac{45mi}{3h} \)
15 mph

5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
49
40
46
37

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
