    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    At 6 AM it was -4 degrees in Alaska.  By noon the temperature had risen  15 degrees.  What was the temperature at noon?

    • 19 degrees

    • 11 degrees

    • 15 degrees

    • 13 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 11 degrees
    Explanation
    The temperature at 6 AM was -4 degrees in Alaska. By noon, the temperature had risen 15 degrees. To find the temperature at noon, we add the rise of 15 degrees to the initial temperature of -4 degrees. -4 + 15 = 11 degrees. Therefore, the temperature at noon was 11 degrees.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

     (  3 +  7 )   x   2  -  ( 10 + 6 ) =

    • 11

    • -4

    • 0

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    The given expression is solved using the order of operations, which states that calculations inside parentheses should be done first. In this case, we have (3 + 7) x 2 - (10 + 6). First, we solve the addition inside the parentheses: (3 + 7) = 10 and (10 + 6) = 16. Now we can simplify the expression: 10 x 2 - 16. Multiplication is done before subtraction, so 10 x 2 = 20. Finally, we subtract 16 from 20, which gives us the answer of 4.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Lisa had $158  in the bank at the start of the week.  She deposited $50 on Monday but on Thursday she withdrew $40.  How much money is in the bank now?

    • $168

    • $248

    • $178

    • $68

    Correct Answer
    A. $168
    Explanation
    At the start of the week, Lisa had $158 in the bank. She then deposited $50 on Monday, which means her total amount in the bank increased to $158 + $50 = $208. However, on Thursday, she withdrew $40 from her account, so the total amount in the bank now is $208 - $40 = $168. Therefore, the correct answer is $168.

    Which of the following equations could be used to find the area of a rectangle with side lengths of 5cm and 7cm?  

    • A = 5 + 5 + 7 + 7

    • A = 1/2 ( 5 )( 7 )

    • A = 5 + 7

    • A = (5)(7)

    Correct Answer
    A. A = (5)(7)
    Explanation
    The equation A = (5)(7) can be used to find the area of a rectangle with side lengths of 5cm and 7cm. This equation represents the formula for finding the area of a rectangle, which is the product of its length and width. In this case, the length is 5cm and the width is 7cm, so multiplying these values together gives the area of the rectangle.

    The state fair charges $6 admission and $2 for each ride.  Which expression could represent the total cost after admission is paid for one person and he/she rides "r" rides?  

    • 6 + 2r

    • 2 + 6r

    • 6 + 3r

    Correct Answer
    A. 6 + 2r
    Explanation
    The correct expression that represents the total cost after admission is paid for one person and he/she rides "r" rides is 6 + 2r. This is because the admission cost is a fixed amount of $6, and for each ride, an additional $2 is charged. Therefore, the total cost can be calculated by multiplying the number of rides by $2 and adding the admission cost of $6.

    Evaluate the expression5t + 4when t = 3

    Correct Answer
    19
    Explanation
    The expression 5t + 4 means to multiply 5 by the value of t and then add 4. In this case, t is given as 3. So, we substitute t with 3 in the expression and evaluate it. 5 multiplied by 3 is 15, and then adding 4 gives us a result of 19.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Evaluate the following expression using order of operations:-|2p| + (3 - y) - 5when p = 4 and y = 2

    Correct Answer
    -12
    Explanation
    The given expression involves the use of order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, we substitute the values of p and y into the expression. Then, we simplify the expression by evaluating the absolute value of 2p, which is 8. Next, we subtract y from 3, resulting in 1. Finally, we subtract 5 from the sum of 8 and 1, giving us a final answer of -12.

    Rate this question:
