Solve 3 + (5 + 4) ÷ 3 x 5 - 52

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
-7
\(\frac{5}{9}\)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)

Solution

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

3 + (5 + 4) ÷ 3 x 5 - 52
P: 3 + (9) ÷ 3 x 5 - 52
E: 3 + 9 ÷ 3 x 5 - 25
MD: 3 + \( \frac{9}{3} \) x 5 - 25
MD: 3 + \( \frac{45}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{9}{3} \) + \( \frac{45}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{54}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{54 - 75}{3} \)
\( \frac{-21}{3} \)
-7

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{5}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{29}{8} \) - \( \frac{12}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{17}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups


3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 330 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
1 hour
6 hours
3 hours
8 hours

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{330mi}{55mph} \)
6 hours


4

Convert c-3 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{c^3} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^{-3}} \)
\( \frac{-1}{c^{-3}} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-3c} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.
