EDPT - Electronic Data Processing Algebraic Concepts and Equations Questions and Answers

Question 1

A data processing script runs in two parts.
The first part takes 'x' minutes to run.
The second part runs for 12 minutes longer than the first part.
If the total execution time for the script is 58 minutes, which equation correctly represents this situation?

Accepted Answer

2x + 12 = 58

Answer

x + 12 = 58

Answer

2x = 58 - 12

Answer

x - 12 = 58

Question 4

A network switch can handle a maximum of 500 packets per second. During a stress test, it is currently handling 120 packets per second. Which inequality represents the additional number of packets, 'p', the switch can handle without exceeding its maximum capacity?

Accepted Answer

p + 120 <= 500

Answer

p + 120 > 500

Answer

p - 120 <= 500

Answer

p + 120 < 500
