How many positive odd integers less than 1000 can be formed using the digits 2,3,4,5,6 and 8? The is how I solve it: 6 * 6 * 2 = 72 === ===== ===== But the book I am using says it should be : 2=2 6*2=12 6*6*2=72 Answer= 86 Can anyone help me with an explanation?

L * W = 54 -----------(1) 2(L + W) = 30 --------(2) What is L? As you can see the first one is a multiplication and the second is an addition. I can't figure out how to solve. It looks simple but....

My answers: 2. A 3. B 4. A What are the correct answers from the book anyway?

My answers 1. A 2. D 3. Approx. 1050 cubic feet.

The bad: 1.The opening sentence is too long. It is almost three lines. 2. Also, try to explain a point once and clearly. This will eliminate the need to re-explain the point. Your second paragraph is a good example where you had to re-explain a point. The good: 1. The length of your essay is long enough. My score on the GRE AWA was 5.5. I am trying to re-take again because my math was bad.

The range of list-1 is 16 and range of list-2 is 10(approx values). If both the lists are combined then what will be the minimum value of their range? SPOILER: Ans: 16 If list 1 is 1,2,3,...16 and list 2 is 1,2,3,4.....10. When combined, we have 1,1,2,2,3,4,4,....10,10,11....16. The minimum value of the range would be 16-1 = 15. Why is the answer 16? I don't understand.

Col A: The standard deviation of 10, 20, 50, 80, 90. Col B: The standard deviation of 11, 30, 50, 70, 90. Another method: Col. A Deviation from previous number 10 - there is no previous number 20 +10 50 +30 80 +30 90 +10 Total deviation: +80 Col A Deviation from previous number 11 - there is no previous number 30 +19 50 +20 70 +20 90 +20 Total deviation +79 Therefore A is greater. Practice these as much as you can and you can do it mentally.

YX7+6Y=Y7X X = ? I saw this in a book. Correct answer is given as 0. How are questions like these solved? Is there a formula?

I am a little confused about how to perform this calculation quickly. Can anyone help? 324/1.2 is 270 I tend to use long division but that takes too long. Comments welcome.

Thanks a lot
