This question is not even trying to test your arithmetic. It's just testing
to see whether you know how to read numbers in words properly.
When you read numbers in words, the only time you ever say "and"
is for a decimal point. There are no decimals in this question, so the
"and" is not a part of any numbers.
The question gives you two numbers. The word "and" is the marker
that's
BETWEEN them. The two numbers are 1,300 and 950 .
The first thing the question wants you to do is write the numerical
expression for all the words. That's (1300 - 950) / 4 .
The next thing you're supposed to do is"evaluate the expression" ...
find out what number it all boils down to. I don't think you'll have
any trouble with that now.
The composition of 2 functions is B
The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
325*89.1
Let's decompose this into:
325 = 300 + 25
89.1 = 80 + 9 + 0.1
Then we have the multiplication:
(300 + 25)*(80 + 9 + 0.1)
Let's distribute the multiplication:
300*80 + 300*9 + 300*0.1 + 25*80 + 25*9 + 25*0.1
So now we have 6 multiplications that are a lot easier to solve than the initial one that we had.
Then the list of six multiplications involved in solving this problem are:
300*80 = 24,400
300*9 = 2,700
300*0.1 = 30
25*80 = 2,000
25*9 = 225
25*0.1 = 2.5
Now we add all of those and get:
325*89.1 = 24,400 + 2,700 + 30 + 2,000 + 225 + 2.5 = 28,957.5
