Find the number for n using mental math and basic properties. (16 + n) + 47 = 16 + (53 + 47)
Explanation
The given equation is (16 + n) + 47 = 16 + (53 + 47). By applying the associative property of addition, we can rearrange the terms on the right side of the equation to get (16 + n) + 47 = (16 + 53) + 47. This simplifies to (16 + n) + 47 = 69 + 47. By combining like terms on both sides of the equation, we get (16 + n) + 47 = 116. By subtracting 47 from both sides of the equation, we get 16 + n = 69. Finally, by subtracting 16 from both sides of the equation, we find that n = 53.Rate this question:

What is the value of x to make this equation true. x + 22 = 49
Explanation
To make the equation x + 22 = 49 true, we need to find the value of x that, when added to 22, equals 49. By subtracting 22 from both sides of the equation, we find that x = 27.Rate this question:
- 9.
Solve for y. 3y - 18 = 54
Explanation
To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 18 to both sides of the equation. This will cancel out the -18 on the left side, leaving us with 3y = 72. Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for y. This gives us y = 24. Therefore, the value of y that satisfies the equation is 24.Rate this question:

If a car is traveling at 35 miles an hour. How many miles has it traveled after 3 hours?
Explanation
The car is traveling at a speed of 35 miles per hour. To calculate the distance traveled, we need to multiply the speed by the time. Since the car has been traveling for 3 hours, we multiply 35 miles per hour by 3 hours, which gives us a total of 105 miles traveled.Rate this question:

Which number below is not a prime factor of 105?
- A.
5
- B.
3
- C.
11
- D.
7
Correct Answer
C. 11Explanation
The number 11 is not a prime factor of 105 because when we divide 105 by 11, it does not result in a whole number. A prime factor is a prime number that can divide a given number without leaving a remainder. In this case, 105 can be divided by 5, 3, and 7 without leaving a remainder, making them prime factors. However, when we divide 105 by 11, it results in a decimal value, indicating that 11 is not a factor of 105.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 30Explanation
The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common. To find the LCM of 6 and 15, we can list the multiples of each number and find the smallest one they have in common. The multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, ... and the multiples of 15 are 15, 30, 45, 60, ... The smallest multiple they have in common is 30, so the LCM of 6 and 15 is 30.Rate this question:

Evaluate 3/4 divided by 2/7
- A.
21/8
- B.
8/21
- C.
21/2
- D.
4/21
Correct Answer
A. 21/8Explanation
To evaluate 3/4 divided by 2/7, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 2/7 is 7/2. So, multiplying 3/4 by 7/2, we get (3/4) * (7/2) = (3 * 7) / (4 * 2) = 21/8. Therefore, the correct answer is 21/8.Rate this question:

What is the product of 5/6 and 1/5 in simplest form?
- A.
1/6
- B.
31/30
- C.
6/11
- D.
5/30
Correct Answer
A. 1/6Explanation
To find the product of fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. In this case, multiplying 5/6 and 1/5 gives us (5 * 1) / (6 * 5), which simplifies to 5/30. To simplify further, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 5, resulting in 1/6. Therefore, the product of 5/6 and 1/5 in simplest form is 1/6.Rate this question:

- C.
95/215
- D.
75/208
Correct Answer
D. 75/208Explanation
To evaluate 15/16 - 15/26, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 16 and 26 is 208. So, we can rewrite 15/16 as 195/208 and 15/26 as 120/208. Now, we can subtract the two fractions: (195/208) - (120/208) = 75/208. Therefore, the correct answer is 75/208.Rate this question:

Write in standard form. 3.7 x 104
Correct Answer
37,000
37000Explanation
The correct answer is 37,000,37000. This is the standard form of the number 3.7 x 104. In standard form, a number is written as a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. In this case, 3.7 is the decimal number and 104 is the power of 10. To convert it to standard form, we move the decimal point 4 places to the right, resulting in 37,000. Then we add the zeros from the power of 10, giving us 37,000,37000.Rate this question:

The area of a square is 36 cm2. What is the perimeter of the square?
- A.
18cm
- B.
24cm
- C.
16cm
- D.
12cm
Correct Answer
B. 24cmExplanation
The area of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, if the area is 36 cm2, then the length of one side is the square root of 36, which is 6 cm. Since a square has four equal sides, the perimeter is found by multiplying the length of one side by 4, which is 24 cm.Rate this question:

Given that side = 6 units, what is the perimeter of a square?
- A.
36 units
- B.
24 units
- C.
12 units
- D.
10 units
Correct Answer
B. 24 unitsExplanation
The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up the lengths of all its sides. Since all sides of a square are equal in length, we can find the perimeter by multiplying the length of one side by 4. In this case, the length of one side is given as 6 units. Therefore, the perimeter of the square would be 6 units x 4 = 24 units.Rate this question:

Given that the sides of a square is 9 units each, what is the perimeter of a square?
- A.
13 units
- B.
81 units
- C.
18 units
- D.
36 units
Correct Answer
D. 36 unitsExplanation
The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up the lengths of all its sides. In this case, since the sides of the square are given to be 9 units each, we can calculate the perimeter by multiplying the length of one side by 4 (since a square has four equal sides). Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 9 units x 4 = 36 units.Rate this question:

- D.
30
Correct Answer
A. 120Explanation
There are 5 cars that can be parked on the roadside. The number of different orders in which these cars can be parked can be calculated by using the concept of permutations. Since all 5 cars are distinct, the total number of different orders is equal to the factorial of 5, which is 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120. Therefore, the correct answer is 120.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 132Explanation
To compute 12(4 + 7) using the distributive property, we need to distribute the 12 to both the 4 and the 7. This means multiplying 12 by each number separately and then adding the results. 12 multiplied by 4 is 48, and 12 multiplied by 7 is 84. Adding these two results together gives us 132. Therefore, the correct answer is 132.Rate this question:

- A.
3/8
- B.
28/39
- C.
128/147
- D.
12/32
Correct Answer
A. 3/8Explanation
To find the product of two fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. In this case, multiplying 4/7 by 21/32 gives (4*21)/(7*32) = 84/224. To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 28. Dividing 84 by 28 and 224 by 28 gives 3/8.

Associative property
- B.
Distributive property
- C.
Commutative property
Correct Answer
A. Associative propertyExplanation
The equation (5 + 3) + 8 = 5 + (3 + 8) is true by the associative property. According to the associative property of addition, the grouping of numbers does not affect the sum. In this case, both sides of the equation have the same sum of 16, but the grouping of the numbers is different. The left side groups (5 + 3) first and then adds 8, while the right side groups (3 + 8) first and then adds 5. Despite the different grouping, the sum remains the same, demonstrating the associative property.Rate this question:

- D.
64
Correct Answer
B. 62Explanation
To simplify the given expression, we start by solving the innermost parentheses first. (2 + 20) equals 22, and (2-3) equals -1. So, the expression becomes 3(22) - (3 + (-1)2). Then, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses, which gives us 3(22) - (3 + (-1)2) = 3(22) - (3 + (-1)2) = 3(22) - (3 + 1) = 3(22) - 4. Finally, we multiply 3 by 22, resulting in 66, and subtract 4 from it, giving us the final answer of 62.Rate this question:
