  whats 1 over 2 to the 2nd power     

  two ways to read this:   Either  (1 / 2)²  =  1 / 4     

                                              or   1 / 2²   =  1 / 4     

  They just happen to come out the same     

  because there's a one in the numerator.

                   circumference of a circle     

        π  =  –––––––––––––––––––––––     

                    diameter of that circle     

   That quotient will be about 3.1416 every time,     

   for every circle, no matter which circle you use.

The longest bridge in the world is located in China. It is164,800 meters long. Another bridge in China is 69,732 meters long. Round each length to the nearest ten thousand to find the answer. What is the approximate difference between the lengths of the two bridges?     

164,800  rounded to nearest 10,000     =     160,000     

  69,732  rounded to nearest 10,000     =       70,000     

    subtract to obtain difference                       90,000

  6C4     

  This is a mathematical expression for combinations.     

  It means the combination of six items taken four at a     

  time, also called "six choose four" sometimes.     

  It represents the number of different ways to select     

  four items from a group of six when the sequence of     

  selection does not matter. The value of 6C4 is 15.     

  An example, using smaller numbers could be 3C2 = 3.     

  The three combinations of A,B,C are AB, AC, and BC.
