Ethan has a box of 24 markers. A fourth of them are black, 5 are blue, and the rest are yellow.
Is he more likely to pick a black, blue, or yellow marker?
Answer: Yellow
black = 24 divided by 4 = 6
blue = 5
5 + 6 = 11
24 -11 = 13 = yellow markers

If AOD is a straight line, then find the value of x.
Answer: x = 18 degrees
Explanation:(x+16)+ 128 + x = 180
2x + 144 = 180
2x = 36
x = 18
Richard went kayaking last weekend. On Saturday, he kayaked for 2 hours and went 7 kilometers. On Sunday, he kayaked on a different river for 3 hours and went 12 kilometers. On which day did Richard kayak at a faster average speed?
Answer: Sunday
Find the unit rate:
Saturday - 7km/ 2hr =3.5 km/h
Sunday - 12km/ 3hr = 4km/hr
4km/hr is the faster rate.

Bernie helped design a magician costume for a school play. He used 5.75 feet of ribbon for the magician's wand. He used 11.75 feet of the same ribbon to decorate the magician's robe. If Bernie used $10.50 of ribbon in all, how much did the ribbon cost per foot?
Answer: The ribbon cost $0.60 per foot.
You need to find how much the ribbon cost per foot. Since you know the total cost, start by finding how much ribbon Bernie used in all. 5.75 + 11.75 =17.5 ft
Now divide to find how much the ribbon cost per foot. The total cost was $10.50, and Bernie used 17.5 feet of ribbon.
10.50 ÷ 17.5 = 105.0÷175 =0.6
In a school with 200 students, 60 of them play basketball. If you select a student at random, what is the probability that this student does not play basketball? Answer as a percentage.
Answer: 70%

Russell has been training for a race. The first week he trained, he ran 5 days and took the same two routes each day. He ran 2 miles around the football field before school and ran a longer route through his neighborhood after school. By the end of the week, Russell had run a total of 30 miles.
Write and solve an equation to find how many miles, x, he ran each day after school.
Answer:
The equation 5(x+2)=30 can be used to find how many miles Russell ran each day after school.
Then solve the equation for x.
5(x+2) = 30 or 5(2+x) = 30
divide both sides by 5
x+2 = 6
subtract 2 from both sides
x = 4
Russel ran 4 miles each day after school.

A password consists of four characters, each randomly selected from the letters A, B, C, D, and E. What is the probability of randomly generating the password "ABCD"?
Answer: 1/625
Since each of the four characters in the password can be any of the five letters (A, B, C, D, or E), we use the multiplication principle for independent events. Each position has 5 possible choices: 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 =625
The problem specifies a unique sequence, which is "ABCD". There is only one way to arrange these specific characters in this exact order to satisfy the condition. 1/625

The area of a circle is 113.1 feet squared.
What is the radius of this circle, in feet? Use π≈3.14π and round to the nearest whole number.
Answer: 6ft
Area =
2pir^2
113.1 = 3.14 x r2
113.1 divided by 3.14 = r2
36 = r2
6 = r
