11. Find the value of 3 + 2 • (8 – 3)

(a) 25,

(b) 13,

(c) 17,

(d) 24,

(e) 15.

Solution:

3 + 2 • (8 – 3)

= 3 + 2 (5)

= 3 + 2 × 5

= 3 + 10

= 13

Answer: (d)

12. Rice weighing 33/4 pounds was divided equally and placed in 4 containers. How many ounces of rice were in each?

Solution:

33/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= (4 × 3 + 3)/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= 15/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= 15/4 × 1/4 pounds.

= 15/16 pounds.

Now we know that, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Therefore, 15/16 pounds = 15/16 × 16 ounces.

= 15 ounces.

Answer: 15 ounces.

13. Factor: 16w3 – u4w3

Solution:

16w3 – u4w3.

= w3(16 – u4).

= w3(42 - ((u2)2).

= w3(4 + u2)(4 - u2).

= w3(4 + u2)(22 - u2).

= w3(4 + u2)(2 + u)(2 - u).

Answer: w3(4 + u2)(2 + u)(2 - u).

14. Factor: 3x4y3 – 48y3.

Solution:

3x4y3– 48y3.

= 3y3(x4 – 16).

= 3y3[(x2)2 - 42].

= 3y3(x2 + 4)(x2 - 4).

= 3y3(x2 + 4)(x2 - 22).

= 3y3(x2 + 4)(x + 2)(x -2).

Answer: 3y3(x2 + 4)(x + 2)(x -2)

15. What is the radius of a circle that has a circumference of 3.14 meters?

Solution:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr.

Given, circumference = 3.14 meters.

Therefore,

2πr = Circumference of a circle

or, 2πr = 3.14.

or, 2 × 3.14r = 3.14,[Putting the value of pi (π) = 3.14].

or, 6.28r = 3.14.

or, r = 3.14/6.28.

or, r = 0.5.

Answer: 0.5 meter.
