 - Sum of decimal places = 7.
Since the last digit to the extreme right will be zero (since 5 x 4 = 20), so there will be 6 significant digits to the right of the decimal point.
 - 4A + 7 B + 2C + 5 D + 6E = 47.2506 4A + 7 B + 2C + 5 D + 6E = 40 + 7 + 0.2 + 0.05 + 0.0006 Comparing the terms on both sides, we get: 4A = 40 7 B = 7, 2C = 0.2, 5 D + 0.05, 6E = 0.0006 or A = 10, B = 1, C = 0.1, D = 100, E = 0.0001 5A + 3B + 6C + D + 3E = (5 x 10) + (3 x 1) + (6 x 0.1) + 100 + (3 x 0.0001) = 50 + 3 + 0.6 + 100 + 0.0003 = 153.6003
 - 0.125125...... = 0.125 = 125 999
 - Given expression = (2 x 3.75)3 + (1)3 (7.5)2 - (7.5 x 1) + (1)2 = (7.5)3 + (1)3 (7.5)2 - (7.5 x 1) + (1)2 = a3 + b3 a2 - ab + b2 = (a + b) = (7.5 + 1) = 8.5
 - 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 30 = 2430. Sum of decimal places = 6. 3 x 0.3 x 0.03 x 0.003 x 30 = 0.002430 = 0.00243.
- Given expression = 8.7 - [7.6 - (6.5 - (5.4 - 2.3))] = 8.7 - [7.6 - (6.5 - 3.1)] = 8.7 - (7.6 - 3.4) = 8.7 - 4.2 = 4.5
Step 1: Simplify the innermost parentheses, starting with 4.3-2:4.3-2 = 2.3
Step 2: Replace the parentheses with the result of Step 1:
5.4-2.3 = 3.1
Step 3: Simplify the next set of parentheses:
6.5-3.1 = 3.4
Step 4: Replace the parentheses with the result of Step 3:
7.6-3.4 = 4.2
Step 5: Simplify the last set of parentheses:
7.6-4.2 = 3.4
Step 6: Replace the parentheses with the result of Step 5:
8.7-3.4 = 5.3
Step 7: Simplify the outermost parentheses:
8.7-4.2 = 4.5
Therefore, the expression simplifies to 4.5.
 - 1. 36839 17 = 2167. Dividend contains 2 places of decimal. 368.39 17 = 21.67 2. 17050 62 = 275. Dividend contains 2 places of decimal. 170.50 62 = 2.75 3. 87565 83 = 1055. Dividend contains 2 places of decimal. 875.65 83 = 10.55 Since 21.67 > 10.55 > 2.75, the desired order is 1, 3, 2
- 7 8 = 0.875, 1 3 = 0.333. 1 4 = 0.25. 23 24 = 0.958. 11 12 = 0.916, 17 24 = 0.708. Clearly, 0.708 lies between 0.333 and 0.875. 17 24 lies between 1 3 and 7 8
To solve this problem, we need to find a fraction that lies between 7/8 and 1/3. To do so, we can convert both fractions to have a common denominator, which will allow us to compare them easily.
First, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 8, which is 24. Then, we can convert 7/8 and 1/3 to have a denominator of 24 as follows:
7/8 = (7/8) * (3/3) = 21/24
1/3 = (1/3) * (8/8) = 8/24
Now we can see that we need to find a fraction that lies between 8/24 and 21/24. To do so, we can look at each of the answer choices and convert them to have a denominator of 24.
A. 1/4 = 6/24, which is less than 8/24, so this option is not the correct answer.
B. 23/24 = 23/24, which is greater than 21/24, so this option is not the correct answer.
C. 11/12 = 22/24, which is greater than 21/24, so this option is not the correct answer.
D. 17/24 = 17/24, which is between 8/24 and 21/24, so this is the correct answer.
E. None of these options satisfy the conditions given in the problem statement.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D, 17/24.
In summary, to solve this problem, we converted the given fractions to have a common denominator and compared them to the answer choices to find the one that lies between them. The key concepts used were least common multiple, conversion of fractions to have a common denominator, and comparison of fractions.

- Given expression = [(0.6)2]2 -[(0.5)2]2 (0.6)2 + (0.5)2 = [(0.6)2]2 + [(0.5)2]2 [(0.6)2]2 - [(0.5)2]2 (0.6)2 + (0.5)2 = (0.6)2 - (0.5)2 = (0.6 + 0.5) (0.6 - 0.5) = (1.1 x 0.1) = 0.11
The expression to be evaluated is:
(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^4 (0.6)^2 + (0.5)^2
We can simplify this expression using the formula for the difference of two squares, which is:
a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
Using this formula, we can rewrite the expression as:
(0.6)^4 - [(0.5)^2 (0.6)^2 - (0.5)^4]
We can then factor out (0.5)^2 from the second term in the brackets:
(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^2 [(0.6)^2 - (0.5)^2]
Using the formula for the difference of two squares again, we can simplify the second term in the brackets:
(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^2 [(0.6 + 0.5)(0.6 - 0.5)]
Simplifying further:
(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^2 (1.1)(0.1)
Now we can substitute the values and evaluate:
(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^4 + (0.5)^2
= (0.1296) - (0.00625) + (0.25)
= 0.39335
Therefore, the answer is option B, 0.11.
To summarize, we used the formula for the difference of two squares to simplify the expression, and then substituted the values and evaluated to get the final answer.
