- A. $1.75
- B. $1.60
- C. $1.55
- D. $1.50
Explanation: To find the cost of 10 apples, begin by determining the cost of one apple.
Correct answer: $1.50- A. a + c = 1,4005a + 3c = 300
- B. a + c = 300 5a + 3c = 1400
- C. a + c = 3003a + 5c = 1,400
- D. a + c = 3003a + 5c = 1,400 × 2
Explanation: To solve this problem, set up the system of equations based on the information provided: a + c = 300 and 5a + 3c = 1,400.
Correct answer: a + c = 300 5a + 3c = 1400- A. 2x2−21x+32
- B. 2x2−21x−32
- C. 2x2−13x+32
- D. 2x2−16x−21
Explanation: To simplify 2(x − 4)2 − 5x, start by expanding the squared term: (x − 4)2 = x2 − 8x + 16.
Correct answer: 2x2−21x+32- A. (2, -1)
- B. (-1, 2)
- C. (1, - 2)
- D. (-1, -2)
Explanation: To find the center of the circle given by the equation x2 + y2 - 2x + 4y - 1 = 0, we compare it with the standard form (x - h)2 + (y - k)2…
Correct answer: (1, - 2)- A. n3
- B. n(n+3)
- C. 2n+3
- D. n/4
Explanation: A is incorrect as assuming our odd integer is 3, cube of 3 is equal to 9, which is not even.
Correct answer: n(n+3)- A. 7/9
- B. 2/3
- C. 5/6
- D. 13/18
Explanation: A is incorrect as 7/9 = 0.7777 B is incorrect as 2/3 = 0.6666 C is correct as 5/6 = 0.8333 0.833 is the biggest fraction compared to the…
Correct answer: 5/6- A. Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question
- B. Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question
- C. Both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient
- D. Statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question
- E. Each statement alone is sufficient
Explanation: A,B,C,D are incorrect as there isn't enough data given for statement 1 and statement 2 to have context.
Correct answer: Statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 7
- D. 11
Explanation: A is incorrect as 1 is not a prime number. B is correct as 2 is the smallest prime number and its even.
Correct answer: 2- A. Less than 2 from original number
- B. More than 200 from original number
- C. Less than 20 from original number
- D. More than 20 from original number
Explanation: Assuming our number to be 124, subtracting 2 from the tenth digit {2} will give us the answer 104, hence B is correct since 104 us 20 less…
Correct answer: Less than 20 from original number- A. 8th
- B. 24th
- C. 12th
- D. 6th
Explanation: A is correct since there are 24 hours in one day, 48 hours in 2 days. To obtain the fraction of 6 hours against 48 hours, 48/6 = 8th.
Correct answer: 8th- A. 10
- B. 11
- C. 210
- D. 250
Explanation: 210 and 252. Highest common factor is 42. 210 factors to = 2*5*3*7252 factors to = 2*2*3*3*7210/42 = 5252/42 = 65+6= 11 cartons
