2

Solve 3 + (5 + 2) ÷ 5 x 4 - 42

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{9}\)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
-7\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

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

3 + (5 + 2) ÷ 5 x 4 - 42
P: 3 + (7) ÷ 5 x 4 - 42
E: 3 + 7 ÷ 5 x 4 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{7}{5} \) x 4 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{28}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{15}{5} \) + \( \frac{28}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{43}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{43 - 80}{5} \)
\( \frac{-37}{5} \)
-7\(\frac{2}{5}\)


3

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
8
72
30
\( \frac{1}{56} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{6!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \)
30


4

Which of these numbers is a factor of 24?

68% Answer Correctly
5
4
2
19

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.


5

Roger loaned Christine $500 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$525
$540
$515
$505

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 $500
i = 0.03 x $500

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

total = $500 + $15
total = $515
