ROUND 1: Mathematics Each competitor was given two minutes to answer as many mathematics question as they could. Question consisted of adding and multiplying a series of number together (i.e. 526 + 216 + 345).
A percentage point or percent point is the unit for the arithmetic difference between two percentages.For example, moving up from 40 percent to 44 percent is an increase of 4 percentage points (although it is a 10-percent increase in the quantity being measured, if the total amount remains the same).

That is, where m is the number of miles, k is the number of kilometres and e is Euler's number. A density of one ounce per cubic foot is very close to one kilogram per cubic metre: 1 oz/ft 3 = 1 oz × 0.028349523125 kg/oz / (1 ft × 0.3048 m/ft) 3 ≈ 1.0012 kg/m 3 .
There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics).
log 10 (3.000 × 10 4) = log 10 (10 4) + log 10 (3.000) = 4.000000... (exact number so infinite significant digits) + 0.477 1 212547... = 4.477 1 212547 ≈ 4.4771. When taking the antilogarithm of a normalized number, the result is rounded to have as many significant figures as the significant figures in the decimal part of the number to be ...
The proof given below is a direct formalization of the intuitive fact that, if one draws 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, etc. on the number line, there is no room left for placing a number between them and 1. The meaning of the notation 0.999... is the least point on the number line lying to the right of all of the numbers 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, etc.
Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields.
A larger number indicates higher or steeper degree of "tilt". Often slope is calculated as a ratio of "rise" to "run", or as a fraction ("rise over run") in which run is the horizontal distance (not the distance along the slope) and rise is the vertical distance.
