Q #1: (frac{[2 (8 + 2 * 6)]}{(16 div 2)} = frac{40}{8} = 5) Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?
A. 6
B. 2
C. 5
D. 3
Answer Explanation
We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.
First, we start with the numerator and solve
[2(8+2*6)]
We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 2*6=12. The expression becomes
[2(8+12)]
Then, we conduct the addition of 8+12=20. Then, the expression yields
[2(20)] = 2*20 = 40
Now, we solve for denominator, which is 16/2=8.
Thus, the expression is reduced into
(frac{[2 (8 + 2 * 6)]}{(16 div 2)} = frac{40}{8} = 5)
The expression reduces into 5.

Q #2: Which of the following is the mean of the test scores listed below? 90, 87, 74, 84, 93, 78
A. 87
B. 78
C. 90
D. 84
Answer Explanation
The mean of a data set is the total scores divided by the number of tests.
Total test scores =90+87+74+ 84+93+76=504
Number of tests =6 Mean test score =506/6=84
The mean test score is 84

Q #3: Which of the following is the weight of the cargo in a truck if 3/5 of the cargo weighs 615 pounds (lb)?
A. 1025 lb
B. 1320 lb
C. 1548 lb
D. 788 lb
Answer Explanation
In this problem, we assume the truck carry a whole cargo to carry. Thus, total weight is found by dividing 615 lb by 3/5. Thus,
We change the division sign to product and multiply 615 by reciprocal of 3/5. Then,
(615 * frac{5}{3} = 1025 lb)
The weight of the cargo in the truck will be 1025 lb.
