Q3: If you are earning $8/hour and want to work long enough to earn $72 then you would take the $72 you want to earn and divide that by how much you make and hour and reach the conclusion that you need to work 9 hours to earn $72 if you make $8/hour3
Ok
Q4: If you calculate (8+3)*5 you will get 55 as your answer and if you calculate 8+3*5 then you will get 23 as your answer. The reason for this is because the rule of order of operations. The calculator will do 8+3 first if it is in () and then times the answer which is 11 by 5 and get 55. But if you take it out of () then it will multiply 3*5 and get 15 and then add that to 8 which is 23. Order of operations starts with what is in ()

Ok
Q5: If you calculate (2^4)*3 you are going to do 2^4=16*3= 48. But if you do 2^(4*3) you will do what is in () first and get 12 then it would look like 2^12 which = 4096. Once again this is order of operations
3
Ok
Q6: If you Calculate 3 * 5 - 4 * 3 ^ 2 you would do 3*5 which is 15 then 15-4= 11 and then 11*3=33 and then raise that to the second power and it give you 1089. Then if you calculate 3 * 5 - (4 * 3)^2 you would start with 4*3 which would be 12 then you do 3*5-12^2 which gives you 9.

Ok
Q7: If y=2x+3 then you plug -2 in for y so it would be 2(-2)+3= -1 the next answer is 2(-1)+3=1 then 2(0)+3= 3 then it is 2(1)+3=5 then 2(2)+3= 7. When you plot these points on a line -2,-1 -1,1 0,3 1,5 2,7 then you get a straight line which would be a linear graph

needed to make a table to help it make more sense
Q10: If you divide any number regardless of the number by 1 you will get the original number even 0 divided by 1 is 0
3
should give examples showing this
Q11: If you divide a number by something greater then 1 then the oringinal will be smaller with each increase in the number you divide by
2
show some examples
Q12: If you divide a positive number by a positive number smaller than one then the smaller number number you divide by the greater the original number will be

ok"
Your explanations are good, but for future assignments make note of the following:
I need to see the questions so I can be sure what your answers mean. Most of the time I can tell, but I'm dealing with information that comes in from over 1000 different files, containing a total of about 10 000 questions. While I'm familiar with the content and sequencing of the questions, having written them all, and know what I'm looking for, different students will answer these questions in different ways and I need to be able to relate your answers to the specific wording of each question.
When reviewing my responses you will also need to be able to relate your answers and my comments to the specifics of the original document.
So it will be important for you to insert your responses into a copy of the original document, according to instructions, without otherwise changing any of the content of the original document.
This will ensure you of the best possible feedback on your work.
