Q #1: Simplify the expression below. Which of the following is correct? $\frac{[3 (2 + 6 \ast 4)]}{(26 \div 2)}$  

A. 6

B. 8

C. 12

D. 9

Answer Explanation

We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[3(2+6*4)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 6*4=24. The expression becomes

[3(2+24)]

Then, we conduct the addition of 2+24=26. Then, the expression becomes

[3(26)]=3*26=78

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 26/2=13.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

$\frac{[3(2+6\ast4)]}{(26\div2)}=\frac{78}{13}=6$

The expression reduces into 6.
Q #2: To determine the cost of a meal, the restaurant considers the quantity of the meal, the number of toppings, and the types of spices. Which of the following is the dependent variable?

A. Size of meal

Q #3: Which of the following is the independent variable in the equation below? F(z)=9z+28

A. F

B. 9

C. 28

D. z

Answer Explanation

Given the equation F(z)=9z+28

To find the value of F(z), we need to vary the value of z. In this case, z is the independent variable while F(z) is what we measure, which is the dependent variable.
