    A pear costs x cents. An orange costs y cents less than a pear. Find the total cost of 2 oranges.

    • 2(x + y)

    • 2(y)

    • 2(x)

    • 2(x - y)

    Correct Answer
    A. 2(x - y)
    Explanation
    The total cost of 2 oranges can be found by multiplying the cost of one orange by 2. Since the cost of an orange is y cents less than a pear, we can represent the cost of one orange as (x - y) cents. Therefore, the total cost of 2 oranges would be 2(x - y) cents.

    Is 11727 divisible by 3?

    • Yes

    • No

    • Maybe

    • Cant Say

    Correct Answer

    What number is halfway between 17 and 29?

    • 21

    • 22

    • 23

    • 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 23
    Explanation
    The number 23 is halfway between 17 and 29 because it is exactly in the middle of these two numbers. To find the halfway point, we can add the two numbers together and divide by 2. In this case, 17 + 29 = 46, and 46 divided by 2 is equal to 23. Therefore, 23 is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Express 4.793 and 39.51 correct to 2 significant figures.

    • 47, 39  

    • 4.794, 39.52

    • 4.8, 40 

    • 48,4.0

    Correct Answer
    A. 4.8, 40 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 4.8, 40. When expressing numbers to 2 significant figures, we look at the first two digits from the left. In 4.793, the first two digits are 4 and 7, so we round up the last digit to get 4.8. In 39.51, the first two digits are 3 and 9, so we round up the last digit to get 40.

    Explanation
    Ahmad's average score in 6 subjects can be calculated by adding up all his scores and dividing it by the number of subjects. Adding up his scores: 88 + 64 + 89 + 96 + 87 + 80 = 504. Dividing it by the number of subjects (6), we get 504/6 = 84. Therefore, Ahmad's average score in 6 subjects is 84.

    • 20g

    Correct Answer
    A. 40g
    Explanation
    John eats 3/5 of the 100g bar of chocolate, which is equal to (3/5) * 100 = 60g. Therefore, the amount of chocolate left is 100g - 60g = 40g.

    A pool is filled everyday with double the water from yesterday. If it takes the pool to be completely filled in 48 days, how long does it take to fill just half the pool?

    • 24

    • 37

    • 47

    • 40

    Correct Answer
    A. 47
    Explanation
    The pool is filled with double the amount of water each day, so we can infer that the amount of water in the pool each day forms a geometric sequence. Since it takes 48 days to completely fill the pool, we can write the equation 1 + 2 + 4 + ... + 2^(n-1) = 48, where n represents the number of days. Solving this equation, we find that n = 6. Therefore, it takes 6 days to fill half the pool. However, the options provided do not include 6 as a choice. Among the given options, the closest answer is 47, which is just one day short of filling half the pool.
