Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?
A. 33
B. 44
C. 25
D. 12
Let's simplify the expression step by step:
Step 1: Inside the square brackets, perform the operation within parentheses first:
([4(3+6?5)]=[4(3+30)] )
Step 2: Continue simplifying inside the square brackets:
([4(3+30)]=[4ast33])
Step 3: Calculate the value inside the square brackets:
([4ast33]=132)
Step 4: Now, deal with the denominator:
((20÷5)=4)
Step 5: Finally, divide the result from step 3 by the result from step 4:
(132/4=33)
So, the simplified expression is 33.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #1: A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are four as many quarters as pennies, three times as many as nickels as pennies, and five times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than pennies?
A. 5 times as many
B. 10 times as many
C. 20 times as many
D. 15 times as many
Answer Explanation
Explanation:
In this question, we need to find the ratio of dimes to quarters.
If we let x be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 4x
Number of nickels in the bottle = 3x
Number of dimes in the bottle =5(3x)=15x
Now relating dimes to quarters, we have
Thus, there are 15 times as many dimes as pennies in the box.

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.
