Evaluate \(\frac{5}{8} - \frac{3}{4} ÷ \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{1}{4}\)
- \(\frac{3}{40}\)
\(\frac{3}{40}\)
\(\frac{7}{40}\)
-\(\frac{263}{40}\)
Correct answer is C
\(\frac{5}{8} - \frac{3}{4} ÷ \frac{5}{12} x \frac{1}{4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{5}{8} - (\frac{3}{4} ÷ \frac{5}{12}) \times \frac{1}{4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{5}{8} - (\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{12}{5}) \times \frac{1}{4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{5}{8} - (\frac{9}{5} \times \frac{1}{4})\)
⇒ \(\frac{5}{8} - \frac{9}{20}\)
∴ \(\frac{7}{40}\)
25.23%
31.34%
88.81%
42.54%
Correct answer is A
Total cost price = ₦9,200.00 + ₦1,500.00 = ₦10,700.00
Selling price = ₦13,400.00
Gain = ₦13,400.00 - ₦10,700.00 = ₦2,700.00
∴ % gain = \(\frac{₦2,700.00}{₦10,700.00}\times\) 100% = 25.23%
Find the area and perimeter of a square whose length of diagonals is 20\(\sqrt2\) cm
800 cm\(^2\), 80 cm
400 cm, 80 cm\(^2\)
80 cm, 800 cm\(^2\)
400 cm\(^2\), 80 cm
Correct answer is D
Using Pythagoras theorem
⇒ \((20\sqrt2)2 = x^2 + x^2\)
⇒ 800 = \(2x^2\)
⇒ 400 = \(x^2\)
⇒ x = \(\sqrt400\) = 20 cm
∴ Area of a square = \(x^2 = 20^2 = 400 cm^2\)
∴ Perimeter of a square = 4x = 4 x 20 = 80 cm
Find the volume of the composite solid above.
2048 cm\(^3\)
2568 cm\(^3\)
2672 cm\(^3\)
1320 cm\(^3\)
Correct answer is B
Volume of the composite solid = Volume of A + Volume of B
Volume of a cuboid = length x breadth x height
Volume of A = 6 x 26 x 8 = 1248 cm\(^3\)
Volume of B = 6 x 10 x 22 = 1320 cm\(^3\)
∴ Volume of the composite solid = 1248 + 1320 = 2568 cm\(^3\)
Two dice are tossed. What is the probability that the total score is a prime number.
\(\frac{5}{12}\)
\(\frac{5}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Correct answer is A
Total possible outcome = 6 x 6 = 36
Required outcome = 15
∴ Pr(E) = \(\frac{15}{36} = \frac{5}{12}\)
