Solve 3 + (2 + 2) ÷ 3 x 3 - 52

53% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-18
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Solution

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

3 + (2 + 2) ÷ 3 x 3 - 52
P: 3 + (4) ÷ 3 x 3 - 52
E: 3 + 4 ÷ 3 x 3 - 25
MD: 3 + \( \frac{4}{3} \) x 3 - 25
MD: 3 + \( \frac{12}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{9}{3} \) + \( \frac{12}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{21}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{21 - 75}{3} \)
\( \frac{-54}{3} \)
-18

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 2 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 9 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 4 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

48% Answer Correctly
176.4
118.4
147.2
72.8

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{2}{100} \) x 9 = \( \frac{2 \times 9}{100} \) = \( \frac{18}{100} \) = 0.18 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 9 - 0.18 = 8.82 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 4 = 20 hours yesterday so you would expect that 20 x 8.82 = 176.4 error free parts were produced yesterday.


3

What is the least common multiple of 2 and 10?

73% Answer Correctly
4
10
6
12

Solution

The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 have in common.
