Solve 3 + (5 + 2) ÷ 4 x 5 - 42

53% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-4\(\frac{1}{4}\)
2

Solution

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

3 + (5 + 2) ÷ 4 x 5 - 42
P: 3 + (7) ÷ 4 x 5 - 42
E: 3 + 7 ÷ 4 x 5 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{7}{4} \) x 5 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{35}{4} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{12}{4} \) + \( \frac{35}{4} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{47}{4} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{47 - 64}{4} \)
\( \frac{-17}{4} \)
-4\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Simplify \( \sqrt{50} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)

Charlie loaned Jennifer $600 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$624
$612
$654
$630

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $600
i = 0.02 x $600

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $600 + $12
total = $612

If all of a roofing company's 20 workers are required to staff 5 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 9 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
1
16
2
8

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 20 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 5 crews so there are \( \frac{20}{5} \) = 4 workers on a crew. 9 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 4 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 9 x 4 = 36 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 20 workers so they need to add 36 - 20 = 16 new staff for the busy season.
