Solve 4 + (3 + 3) ÷ 2 x 2 - 42

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
-6
\(\frac{7}{8}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

4 + (3 + 3) ÷ 2 x 2 - 42
P: 4 + (6) ÷ 2 x 2 - 42
E: 4 + 6 ÷ 2 x 2 - 16
MD: 4 + \( \frac{6}{2} \) x 2 - 16
MD: 4 + \( \frac{12}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{8}{2} \) + \( \frac{12}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{20}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{20 - 32}{2} \)
\( \frac{-12}{2} \)
-6

What is 5a7 + 3a7?

66% Answer Correctly
2a-7
8a7
2a7
8a49

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

5a7 + 3a7
(5 + 3)a7
8a7


3

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{5}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{4}\) - \(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{18}{8} \) - \( \frac{5}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups


4

If a car travels 200 miles in 5 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
75 mph
50 mph
40 mph
60 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{200mi}{5h} \)
40 mph
