5. -32 + 7 equals:

Explanation

When we add a negative number (-32) to a positive number (7), we can think of it as subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. In this case, we subtract 32 from 7, which gives us -25. Therefore, -32 + 7 equals -25.

7. Which of the following correctly identifies 4 consecutive odd integers where the sum of the middle two integers is equal to 24?

Explanation

The sum of the middle two integers in the sequence 9, 11, 13, 15 is 11 + 13 = 24.

Submit
8. What is the next number in the sequence? 6, 12, 24, 48, ___

Explanation

The sequence is doubling each time. Starting with 6, the next number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2. Therefore, 48 multiplied by 2 equals 96, which is the next number in the sequence.

Submit
9. The average of 12, 15, 23, 10

Explanation

The correct answer is 15 because it is the average of the given numbers. To find the average, you add up all the numbers and then divide the sum by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of 12, 15, 23, and 10 is 60. Dividing 60 by 4 (the total number of values) gives us 15, which is the average.

Submit
10. Over the course of a week, Fred spent $28.49 on lunch. What was the average cost per day?

Explanation

The average cost per day can be calculated by dividing the total amount spent on lunch over the course of a week ($28.49) by the number of days in a week (7). This gives us an average cost per day of $4.07.

Submit
11. Find 0.12 ÷ 1

Submit
14. Which of the following is not a whole number followed by its square?

Explanation

The question asks for a pair of numbers where the second number is the square of the first number. We can see that for all the given pairs except for 11, 144, the second number is indeed the square of the first number. However, 11 squared is 121, not 144, so 11, 144 is the pair that does not follow the pattern.

Submit
15. There are 12 more apples than oranges in a basket of 36 apples and oranges. How many apples are in the basket?

Explanation

Since there are 12 more apples than oranges in the basket, we can set up an equation to represent this relationship. Let x be the number of oranges in the basket. Therefore, the number of apples would be x + 12. We know that the total number of fruits in the basket is 36. So, we can write the equation as x + (x + 12) = 36. Simplifying this equation gives us 2x + 12 = 36. By subtracting 12 from both sides, we get 2x = 24. Finally, dividing both sides by 2 gives us x = 12. Therefore, there are 12 oranges and 12 + 12 = 24 apples in the basket.

Submit
16.  A roast was cooked at 325° F in the oven for 4 hours. The internal temperature rose from 32° F to 145° F. What was the average rise in temperature per hour?

Explanation

The average rise in temperature per hour can be calculated by finding the difference in temperature and dividing it by the time taken. In this case, the difference in temperature is 145° F - 32° F = 113° F, and the time taken is 4 hours. Therefore, the average rise in temperature per hour is 113° F / 4 hours = 28.25.

Submit
17. 7.95 ÷ 1.5 =

Explanation

The correct answer is 5.3 because when you divide 7.95 by 1.5, you get a quotient of 5.3.

Submit
18. A train travels 20 feet in 1/5 seconds At this exact speed, how many feet will it travel in three seconds?

Explanation

The train travels 20 feet in 1/5 seconds. To find out how many feet it will travel in three seconds, we can set up a proportion. Since 1/5 seconds is to 20 feet, then 3 seconds is to x feet. Cross multiplying, we get (1/5) * x = 20 * 3. Simplifying, we get x = 300. Therefore, the train will travel 300 feet in three seconds.

Submit
19. In the number 743.25 which digit represents the tenths space

Explanation

In the number 743.25, the digit 2 represents the tenths place. The tenths place is the position after the decimal point and before the hundredths place. In this case, the digit 2 is in the tenths place because it is the second digit after the decimal point.

Submit
20. When rope is selling at $.15 a foot, how many feet can you buy for sixty cents?

Submit
22. What is the mathematical average of the number of weeks in a year, seasons in a year, and the number of days in January?

Explanation

The mathematical average is calculated by adding up the numbers and dividing by the total number of values. In this case, we add the number of weeks in a year (52), seasons in a year (4), and the number of days in January (31), which gives us a total of 87. Dividing this by 3 (the number of values), we get an average of 29.

Submit
23. Round 907.457 to the nearest tens place

Explanation

The given number, 907.457, needs to be rounded to the nearest tens place. The tens place is the digit immediately to the left of the decimal point. In this case, it is the digit 0. Since the digit to the right of the tens place is 7, which is greater than or equal to 5, we round up. Therefore, the number is rounded to the next highest ten, which is 910.00.

Submit
24. On Monday and Thursday, the cost of lunch is $5.43 total. On Tuesday and Wednesday the cost of lunch is $3.54 on each day. On Friday, the cost of lunch is $7.89. What was the average daily cost?

Explanation

The average daily cost can be calculated by adding up the total cost for each day and dividing it by the number of days. On Monday and Thursday, the total cost is $5.43. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the total cost is $3.54 + $3.54 = $7.08. On Friday, the cost is $7.89. Adding up all the costs, we get $5.43 + $7.08 + $7.89 = $20.40. Since there are 5 days in total, the average daily cost is $20.40 / 5 = $4.08.

Submit
25. Art realized that he had 2 more quarters than he had originally thought in his pocket. If all of the change in his pocket is quarters and it totals to $8.75, how many quarters did he originally think were in his pocket?

Submit
26. 1230.932567 rounded to the nearest hundredths place is

Explanation

The number 1230.932567 rounded to the nearest hundredths place is 1230.930. This is because the digit in the hundredths place, which is 2, is less than 5. Therefore, we round down the digit in the tenths place, which is 3, and keep the rest of the digits the same.

Submit
27. WISH          ORDER

Explanation

The words "WISH" and "ORDER" are similar in the sense that they both express a desire or a want. While "WISH" conveys a more hopeful or longing desire, "ORDER" implies a more direct and authoritative desire. Therefore, both words share the common theme of expressing a desire, making them similar in meaning.
