What is the absolute value of the expression |6 - 4| - |3 - 8|?

Back

The result is 7, since |6 - 4| = 2 and |3 - 8| = 5, thus 2 - 5 = -3.

How do you calculate the number of students who earned a C if 1/4 earned an A and 1/3 earned a B in a class of 180 students?

Back

First, calculate the number of A's: 180 * (1/4) = 45. Then, calculate the number of B's: 180 * (1/3) = 60. The total number of students who earned A or B is 45 + 60 = 105. Therefore, students who earned C = 180 - 105 = 75.

The total number of outcomes is 6, as there are six faces on the die.

Front

What is the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die?

Back

The probability is 3/6 or 1/2, since there are three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of six possible outcomes.
