  • 2. 

    Can you solve for 23 + 3 ÷ 3? 

    • 35

    • 30

    • 28

    • 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 24
    Explanation
    To solve the given expression, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, we divide 3 by 3, which equals 1. Then, we add 23 and 1, which gives us the final result of 24. Therefore, the correct answer is 24.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is the result of the multiplication 8 × 7?

    • 15 

    • 42 

    • 56 

    • 64

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

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is the square root of 144?

    • 6 

    • 12 

    • 18 

    • 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is the next prime number after 7? 

    • 11

    • 12

    • 13

    • 14

    Correct Answer
    A. 11
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

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

    • 8 square units 

    • 10 square units 

    • 13 square units 

    • 40 square units

    Correct Answer
    A. 40 square 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.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What's the product 131 × 0 × 300 × 4?

    • 0

    • 11

    • 15

    • 18

    Correct Answer
    A. 0
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 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?

    Correct Answer
    $6, 6, $6.00, 6 dollars
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following numbers is a prime number?

    • 1 

    • 6 

    • 11 

    • 15

    Correct Answer
    A. 11 
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Can you solve 3 + 6 × ( 5 + 4) ÷ 3 - 7? 

    • 20

    • 14

    • 18

    • 25

    Correct Answer
    A. 14
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

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

    Correct Answer
    13
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Divide 4/5 by 2/3

    Correct Answer
    6/5
    1 1/5
    1 and 1/5
    Explanation
    When dividing fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, we have (4/5) ÷ (2/3). To find the reciprocal of 2/3, we flip it, resulting in 3/2. Then, we multiply 4/5 by 3/2, which gives us 12/10 or 6/5. Therefore, the correct answer is 6/5.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

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

    • 3π units 

    • 6π units 

    • 9 units 

    • 18π units

    Correct Answer
    A. 6π units 
    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.

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

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

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

    Correct Answer
    84
    84%
    84 percent
    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%).
