Find 2 numbers that are not common multiples of 5 and 2

  • Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, …

  • Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, …

  • Common multiples of 5 and 2: 10, 20, 30, 40, … (multiples of 10)

So any number not a multiple of 10 would work.

A baker made 48 cupcakes. He packed them into boxes as follows:

  • Each small box holds 4 cupcakes.

  • Each large box holds 6 cupcakes.

He packed 3 small boxes and 2 large boxes.

How many cupcakes does he have left?

Answer: The baker has 24 cupcakes left


Step 1: Calculate cupcakes in small boxes

3 × 4 = 12 cupcakes

Step 2: Calculate cupcakes in large boxes

2 × 6 = 12 cupcakes

Step 3: Total cupcakes packed

12 + 12 = 24 cupcakes

Step 4: Subtract from total cupcakes

48 − 24 = 24 cupcakes

Insert brakets to make these calculations correct.

1. 8 + 6 × 2 = 28

2. 12 − 4 × 2 + 6 = 16

3. 5 + 3 × 4 − 2 = 15



1. (8 + 6) × 2 = 28

2. 12 − (4 × 2) + 6 = 16

3. 5 + (3 × 4) − 2 = 15
