On Monday and Thursday, lunch cost $5.43 total. On Tuesday and Wednesday, lunch cost $3.54 on each day.On Friday, lunch cost $7.89. What was the average daily cost?
-
3.19
-
3.75
-
3.90
-
4.08
-
4.23
Correct Answer
A. 4.08Explanation
The average daily cost can be calculated by adding up the total cost of lunch for each day and then dividing by the number of days. From the given information, we can calculate the total cost of lunch for each day as follows: Monday and Thursday = $5.43, Tuesday and Wednesday = $3.54 x 2 = $7.08, and Friday = $7.89. Adding up these costs gives us a total of $5.43 + $7.08 + $7.89 = $20.40. Since there are 5 days in total, we can divide the total cost by 5 to get the average daily cost, which is $20.40 / 5 = $4.08. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.08.Rate this question:

-
12
-
15
-
24
-
28
-
36
Correct Answer
A. 24Explanation
Let's assume the number of oranges in the basket is x. According to the given information, there are 12 more apples than oranges. So, the number of apples can be represented as x + 12. The total number of fruits in the basket is 36. Therefore, the equation can be formed as x + (x + 12) = 36. By solving this equation, we get x = 12. So, the number of apples in the basket is x + 12 = 12 + 12 = 24.Rate this question:

A train travels 20 feet in 1/5 seconds At this exact speed, how many feet will it travel in three seconds?
-
60
-
150
-
200
-
300
-
500
Correct Answer
A. 300Explanation
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 is equivalent to 3/15, we can say that 20 feet is equivalent to 3/15 seconds. We can then find out how many feet the train will travel in 3 seconds by cross-multiplying and solving for x. 3/15 * 20 = x/3. Simplifying this equation, we get x = 300. Therefore, the train will travel 300 feet in three seconds.Rate this question:
