Question 1

What is the value of 7×(3+2)?

Accepted Answer

35

Answer

To solve 7×(3+2), you must follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: 3 + 2 = 5. Then, multiply this result by 7: 7 × 5 = 35.

Question 2

Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 3/4?

Accepted Answer

6/8

Answer

To find an equivalent fraction, you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero number. For 3/4, multiplying both by 2 gives (3×2)/(4×2) = 6/8. This means 6/8 represents the same proportion as 3/4.

Question 3

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 8 cm and a width of 5 cm?

Accepted Answer

40 cm²

Answer

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, 8 cm multiplied by 5 cm equals 40 cm². The unit for area is square centimeters (cm²).

Question 4

If a pattern starts with 2 and doubles each time (2, 4, 8, 16...), what is the 6th term in the pattern?

Accepted Answer

64

Answer

To find the 6th term, we start with the first term (2) and double it repeatedly. The sequence is: 1st term = 2, 2nd term = 4, 3rd term = 8, 4th term = 16, 5th term = 32, and finally, the 6th term = 64.

Question 5

Solve for 
𝑥: 5x+3=23.

Accepted Answer

x=4

Answer

To solve for x, first subtract 3 from both sides of the equation: 5x + 3 - 3 = 23 - 3, which simplifies to 5x = 20. Next, divide both sides by 5: 5x / 5 = 20 / 5, resulting in x = 4.
