  1. What is the value of 3 + 4 × 2 − 1?

    Answer: 10

    Following order of operations (PEMDAS), multiply first: 4 × 2 = 8, then 3 + 8 − 1 = 10.

  2. If a train travels 240 miles in 4 hours, what is its average speed?

    Answer: 60 mph

    Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 240 ÷ 4 = 60 mph.

  3. Solve for n: n/5 = 9

    Answer: 45

    Multiply both sides by 5 to isolate n: n = 9 × 5 = 45.

  4. Which of the following numbers is divisible by both 3 and 5?

    Answer: 30

    30 ÷ 3 = 10 and 30 ÷ 5 = 6, so 30 is divisible by both 3 and 5.

  5. If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:4 and there are 21 boys, how many girls are there?

    Answer: 28

    If 3 parts = 21, then 1 part = 7, so 4 parts (girls) = 7 × 4 = 28.

  6. What is the next number in the pattern: 2, 6, 18, 54, ___?

    Answer: 162

    Each term is multiplied by 3: 54 × 3 = 162.

  7. Simplify: 5x + 3y − 2x + y

    Answer: 3x + 4y

    Combine like terms: (5x − 2x) + (3y + y) = 3x + 4y.
