, Q6. What is the value of 7+(6×2)7 + (6 \times 2)7+(6×2)?
A. 26
B. 19
C. 20
D. 18
Answer: B (19)
Rationale: According to order of operations (BODMAS), multiplication is performed before
addition. So: 6×2=126 \times 2 = 126×2=12. Then 7+12=197 + 12 = 197+12=19. Many students
mistakenly add first, which would give a wrong
Answer.
Q7. Simplify: 34+58\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{8}43+85.
A. 78\frac{7}{8}87
B. 118\frac{11}{8}811
C. 12\frac{1}{2}21
D. 138\frac{13}{8}813
Answer: B (118\tfrac{11}{8}811)
Rationale: Find a common denominator. 34=68\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{8}43=86. Then
68+58=118\frac{6}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{11}{8}86+85=811. This is an improper fraction, equal to
1381 \tfrac{3}{8}183.
Q8. Convert 0.3750.3750.375 to a fraction in simplest form.
A. 38\frac{3}{8}83
B. 3750\frac{37}{50}5037
C. 720\frac{7}{20}207
D. 14\frac{1}{4}41
Answer: A (38\tfrac{3}{8}83)
Rationale: 0.375=37510000.375 = \tfrac{375}{1000}0.375=1000375. Divide numerator and
denominator by 125 → 38\tfrac{3}{8}83.
