What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
14
2
4
6

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 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 + 1
a6 = 5 + 1
a6 = 6


2

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{7}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{23}{8} \) - \( \frac{10}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
