What is the slope of a line that passes through (2, 3) and (6, 11)?
Answer: 2
Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (11 - 3)/(6 - 2) = 8/4 = 2.
Simplify: (3/4) ÷ (9/16)
Answer: 4/3
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: (3/4) × (16/9) = 48/36 = 4/3.
The perimeter of a square is 52 inches. What is the area?
Answer: 169 in²
Each side = 52/4 = 13 inches; area = 13² = 169 in².
What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12?
Answer: 24
Multiples of 8: 8,16,24,...; multiples of 12: 12,24,...; the smallest shared multiple is 24.
What are the solutions to x² - 5x + 6 = 0?
Answer: x = 2 and x = 3
Factor as (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, giving x = 2 or x = 3.
If a bag contains 3 red marbles, 5 blue marbles, and 2 green marbles, what is the probability of picking a blue marble?
Answer: 1/2
Probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes = 5/10 = 1/2.
What is the volume of a rectangular box with length 4, width 3, and height 5?
Answer: 60
