2. What is the result of the multiplication 8 m 7?

Explanation

Multiplying 8 by 7 equals 56. Multiplication is the process of repeated addition, and 8 added to itself 7 times results in 56.

Submit
3. What is the square root of 144?

Explanation

The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, equals the original number. In this case, the square root of 144 is 12 because 12 × 12 = 144.

Submit
4. How many months are there in a century?

Explanation

A century consists of 100 years. Since there are 12 months in a year, to calculate the number of months in a century, we multiply 100 by 12. Therefore, there are 1200 months in a century.

Submit
5. What is the next prime number after 7? 

Explanation

The next prime number after 7 is 11. Prime numbers are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and themselves, and 11 fits this criteria.

Submit
6. What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 8 units and a breadth of 5 units?

Explanation

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the area is 8 units × 5 units = 40 square units.

Submit
7. What's the product 131 m 0 m 300 m 4?

Explanation

The product of any number multiplied by zero is always zero. Therefore, when multiplying 131, 0, 300, and 4 together, the result will be zero.

Submit
8. In March, the price of peaches was $2.50 per pound. In June, the price dropped to $2.00 per pound. For the pie maker, how much can be saved by waiting to buy 12 pounds of peaches in June?

Explanation

By waiting to buy 12 pounds of peaches in June, the pie maker can save $0.50 per pound. Therefore, the total amount saved by waiting is $0.50 x 12 pounds = $6.

Submit
9. Which of the following numbers is a prime number?

Explanation

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. In the case of 11, it can only be divided evenly by 1 and 11, making it a prime number.

Submit
10. Can you solve 3 + 6 m ( 5 + 4) ÷ 3 - 7? 

Explanation

The given expression follows the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS. First, we solve the parentheses, which is 5 + 4 = 9. Then, we perform the multiplication, which is 6 * 9 = 54. Next, we perform the division, which is 54 / 3 = 18. Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right, which is 3 + 18 - 7 = 14. Therefore, the correct answer is 14.

Submit
11. The arithmetic average of A and B is 14.  If C=11, what is the average of all three numbers?

Explanation

If the arithmetic average of A and B is 14, it means that the sum of A and B is 28. Since C is given as 11, the sum of all three numbers is 28 + 11 = 39. To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values, which in this case is 3. Therefore, the average of all three numbers is 39/3 = 13.

Submit
12. Divide 4/5 by 2/3

Explanation

To divide one fraction by another, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. The reciprocal means you swap the top and bottom numbers of the second fraction.

For example, to divide four-fifths by two-thirds, multiply four-fifths by three-halves.

So, four-fifths times three-halves equals twelve over ten.

Then simplify twelve over ten by dividing both top and bottom by two.

Twelve divided by two is six, and ten divided by two is five, so the answer is six-fifths.

This can also be written as one and one-fifth.

Submit
13. If you have a circle with a radius of 3 units, what is the circumference of the circle?

Explanation

The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula C=2πr, where r represents the radius of the circle. Given that the circle has a radius of 3 units, you can find the circumference by plugging in the radius value:



𝐶 = 2𝜋 × 3 = 6𝜋



Therefore, the circumference of a circle with a radius of 3 units is 6π units. This formula calculates the distance around the circle, an essential concept in geometry. It's crucial for understanding circular measurements and has various applications in mathematics, physics, and engineering.

Submit
14. If four Consecutive integers (numbers) have an arithmetic average of 30.5 what are the four numbers.

Explanation

The given answer is correct. The four consecutive integers that have an arithmetic average of 30.5 are 29, 30, 31, and 32.

Submit
15. On a history test with 50 test items, a student got 8 wrong. What is the percentage grade for the test?

Explanation

The student got 8 out of 50 questions wrong on the test. To calculate the percentage grade, we need to find the percentage of correct answers. The number of correct answers can be calculated by subtracting the number of wrong answers from the total number of questions. So, the student got 42 questions correct (50 - 8 = 42). To find the percentage, we divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions and multiply by 100. Therefore, the student's percentage grade is 84% (42/50 * 100 = 84%).
