Thankss
thanks, this one was quick. good confidence boost after the last set i did 😅
I keep second-guessing myself on these. Took me a sec to realize dividing by 240 after multiplying by 6 is the same as just one division.
Same here, the wording with 'what number would you need to divide the original number by' threw me off at first
got (B). the 6 cancels nicely if you just think of it as 240 split into 6 equal parts
What it tests
Your fluency with the order of operations, fractions, decimals, and basic number sense — the foundation every quant question leans on.
Common trap
Applying the order of operations out of sequence or rounding intermediate values before the final step.
