A recipe uses 3/4 cup of sugar for every 2 cups of flour. How much sugar is needed for 6 cups of flour?
Answer: 2 1/4 cups
6 cups of flour is 3 times 2 cups, so multiply 3/4 by 3 to get 2 1/4 cups.
Which expression is equivalent to 4(2x + 3)?
Answer: 8x + 12
Distribute the 4 to both terms: 4 times 2x is 8x and 4 times 3 is 12.
What is the value of 3² + 4 × 2?
Answer: 17
Following order of operations, 3² = 9 and 4 × 2 = 8, so 9 + 8 = 17.
A rectangle has a length of 12 cm and a width of 5 cm. What is its area?
Answer: 60 cm²
Area equals length times width, so 12 × 5 = 60 square centimeters.
If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, it must also be divisible by which number?

What is 0.6 written as a fraction in simplest form?
Answer: 3/5
0.6 equals 6/10, which simplifies to 3/5 by dividing both parts by 2.
A line passes through the points (0, 2) and (3, 8). What is its slope?
Answer: 2
Slope equals the change in y over the change in x, so (8 − 2)/(3 − 0) = 6/3 = 2.
