Question 2

If a rectangle has a length of 8 meters and a width of 5 meters, what is its area?

Accepted Answer

40 square meters

Answer

The area of a rectangle is given by length×width.
Thus, 8×5=40 square meters.

Question 3

What is the next number in the sequence: 2, 5, 10, 17, ___?

Accepted Answer

24

Answer

The difference between consecutive numbers is increasing by 2:
5 - 2 = 3, 10 - 5 = 5, 17 - 10 = 17.
Thus, the next difference will be 9, so 17 + 9 = 24.

Question 4

A car travels 120 kilometers in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

To calculate the average speed, divide the distance by the time:
¹²⁰⁄₂ = 60 km/h.

Answer

To find the discounted price, first calculate the discount:
150 x 0.20 = 30.
Then subtract the discount from the original price:
150 - 30 = 120.
