If all of a roofing company's 10 workers are required to staff 5 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 7 complete crews out on jobs?
| 4 | |
| 11 | |
| 3 | |
| 10 |
In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 10 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 5 crews so there are \( \frac{10}{5} \) = 2 workers on a crew. 7 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 2 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 7 x 2 = 14 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 10 workers so they need to add 14 - 10 = 4 new staff for the busy season.

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.
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?
| 26 | |
| 33 | |
| 22 | |
| 30 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 5
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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26
A tiger in a zoo has consumed 91 pounds of food in 7 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 182 pounds?
| 1 | |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 |
If the tiger has consumed 91 pounds of food in 7 days that's \( \frac{91}{7} \) = 13 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 182 - 91 = 91 more pounds of food to reach 182 pounds total. At 13 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{91}{13} \) = 7 more days.
