when positive integer n is divided by positive integer j , the remainder is 42 . if n / j = 204.07 , what is value of j ?
"when a number is divided by another number , we can represent it as : dividend = quotient * divisor + remainder so , dividend / divisor = quotient + remainder / divisor given that n / j = 204.07 here 204 is the quotient . given that remainder = 42 so , 204.07 = 204 + 42 / j so , j = 600 answer : d"

"explanatory answer step 1 : find the first and last term of the series the smallest 3 - digit positive integer that leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 7 is 103 . the largest 3 - digit positive integer that leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 7 is 999 . the series of numbers that satisfy the condition that the number should leave a remainder of 5 when divided by 7 is an a . p ( arithmetic progression ) with the first term being 103 and the last term being 999 . the common difference of the sequence is 7 . step 2 : compute the number of terms in an a . p , the last term l = a + ( n - 1 ) * d , where ' a ' is the first term , ' n ' is the number of terms of the series and ' d ' is the common difference . therefore , 999 = 103 + ( n - 1 ) * 7 or 999 - 103 = ( n - 1 ) * 7 or 896 = ( n - 1 ) * 7 so , n - 1 = 128 or n = 129 choice e is the correct answer ."

before leaving home for the town of madison , pete checks a map which shows that madison is 5 inches from his current location , gardensquare . pete arrives in madison 3.5 hours later and drove at an average speed of 60 miles per hour . at what scale , in inches per mile , is the map drawn ?
pete covered 3.5 * 60 = 210 miles which correspond to 5 inches on the map - - > scale in inches per mile is 5 / 210 = 1 / 42 . answer : c .
a = 3 / 5 b = a * const_60 c = 1 / b
a ) 5 , b ) 6 , c ) 8 , d ) 9 , e ) 10
c
subtract(642, add(multiply(multiply(multiply(5, 7), 9), const_2), 4))
what least number should be subtracted from 642 so that the remainder when divided by 5 , 7 , and 9 will leave in each case the same remainder 4 ?
"the lcm of 5 , 7 , and 9 is 315 . the next multiple is 2 * 315 = 630 . 630 + { remainder } = 630 + 4 = 634 , which is 8 less than 642 . answer : c ."
a = 5 * 7 b = a * 9 c = b * 2 d = c + 4 e = 642 - d
