Solve: 2 - 8(24 · 2).
- A. -94
- B. -92
- C. -96
- D. -90
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). First, we divide 24 by 2 to get 12. Then, we multiply 8 by 12, which equals 96. Finally, we subtract 96 from 2: 2 - 96 = -94. Therefore, the correct answer is A, '-94'. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of operations or make errors during calculation.
How many pints are in 56 ounces?

What is the result of adding 1/2 + 4/5?
- A. 1 3/10
- B. 1/2/2024
- C. 1 2/5
- D. 1 1/5
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10. So, 1/2 + 4/5 = 5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10 = 1 3/10. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1 3/10. Choice B, 1/2/2024, is incorrect as it does not represent the sum of the fractions given. Choice C, 1 2/5, is incorrect as it does not match the sum calculated. Choice D, 1 1/5, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct sum of the fractions provided.
