Jennifer scored 90% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 90 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Jennifer answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
20
27
22
28

Solution

Jennifer scored 90% on the test meaning she earned 90% of the possible points on the test. There were 90 possible points on the test so she earned 90 x 0.9 = 81 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{81}{3} \) = 27 questions right.


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

7

9

2

5

3

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

associative

commutative

PEDMAS

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 3 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 8 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 7 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

48% Answer Correctly
131.9
109.5
110.4
95.6

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{3}{100} \) x 8 = \( \frac{3 \times 8}{100} \) = \( \frac{24}{100} \) = 0.24 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 8 - 0.24 = 7.76 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 7 = 17 hours yesterday so you would expect that 17 x 7.76 = 131.9 error free parts were produced yesterday.


5

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

92% Answer Correctly
6
11
-1
-2

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
