Example Question #82 : Use Parentheses, Brackets, Or Braces In Numerical Expressions And Evaluate These Expressions: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Oa.A.1
Solve:
When solving this problem, remember order of operations PEMDAS. The parentheses come first followed by the division.
Example Question #82 : Use Parentheses, Brackets, Or Braces In Numerical Expressions And Evaluate These Expressions: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Oa.A.1
Solve:
When solving this problem, remember order of operations PEMDAS. The parentheses come first, followed by the multiplication, and then addition.
Example Question #91 : Algebra
Mark is three times as old as his son Brian. In ten years, Mark will be
years old. In how many years will Mark be twice as old as Brian?
In ten years, Mark will be
years old, so Mark is years old now, and Brian is one-third of this, or years old.Let
be the number of years in which Mark will be twice Brian's age. Then Brian will be , and Mark will be . Since Mark will be twice Brian's age, we can set up and solve the equation:
Mark will be twice Brian's age in
years.Example Question #1 : Word Problems
Gary is twice as old as his niece Candy. How old will Candy will be in five years when Gary is
years old?
Not enough information is given to determine the answer.
Since Gary will be 37 in five years, he is
years old now. He is twice as old as Cathy, so she is years old, and in five years, she will be years old.Example Question #622 : Grade 7
A parking garage charges a minimum fee of
to park in the garage. It also charges an additional fee of for every hour, or portion of an hour, in which a person parks in the garage. Cliff wants to pay a maximum of to park there. If he pulls into the garage at exactly , when must he leave at latest?
Let
be the number of hours that Cliff parks his car in the garage. Since he pays a flat fee of plus per hour or portion thereof, he pays dollars. Since he does not want to spend more than ,
Since a portion of an hour counts as much as an hour,
must be a whole number.
implies that
.
Cliff can park in the garage for a maximum of 6 hours, and since he entered the garage at
, he must exit hours later:,
or
.Example Question #61 : Common Core Math: Grade 5
Solve the following:
When solving this problem, remember order of operations PEMDAS. The parentheses come first followed by the multiplication.
Example Question #81 : How To Solve Two Step Equations
Solve:
When solving this problem, remember order of operations PEMDAS. The parentheses come first followed by the multiplication.
Example Question #92 : Algebra
You are given that
are whole numbers.Which of the following is true of
if and are both odd?
None of the other statements are true.
is always odd if is odd, and always even if is even.
is always even.
is always odd.
is always odd if is even, and always even if is odd.
is always odd if is even, and always even if is odd.
If
is odd, then is odd, since the product of two odd whole numbers must be odd. When the odd number is added, the result, , is even, since the sum of two odd numbers must be even.If
is even, then is even, since the product of an odd number and an even number must be even. When the odd number is added, the result, , is odd, since the sum of an odd number and an even number must be odd.Example Question #93 : Algebra
Simplify the expression:
Combine all the like terms.
The
terms can be combined together, which gives you .When you combine the
terms together, you get .There is only one
term so it doesn't get combined with anything. Put them all together and you get.
