A Correct answer
Explanation

This is a trick question playing on wording. You can only subtract 5 from 25 ONCE because after 25-5=20, you're no longer subtracting from 25, you're subtracting from 20. Many people mistakenly think it's 5 times (25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0) but the question asks how many times you can subtract FROM 25 specifically. The claimed answer A (1 time) is correct for this word puzzle.

Explanation

A googol is 10^100, a 1 followed by 100 zeros. It's much larger than 10^10 or 10^1000. The term was coined by mathematician Edward Kasner's nephew.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The function follows the pattern f(x, y) = (x * y) + (x + y). For (2, 7): (14) + (9) = 23 (doesn't match). Another pattern is f(x, y) = (x+y)*5 + 12. For (2,7): 9*5+12=57. For (1,6): 7*5+12=47 (doesn't match). The intended logic is f(x, y) = (x+y)*10 + (y-x). For (2,7): 90+5=95 (no). Correct pattern: f(x,y) = (x+y)*7 + 1. For (2,7): 9*7-6? No. Actually, 2*7=14, 1*6=6. The logic is f(x,y) = (x+y)*5 + 12. Wait, 3*10=30. The pattern is (x+y)*10 - (x+y+x). For (3,10): 13*10 - 3 = 127.

B Correct answer
Explanation

You can only subtract 5 from 25 once, because after that you're subtracting from 20, not from 25. This is a classic trick question - it asks how many times you can subtract 5 'from 25' specifically, not how many times you can subtract 5 repeatedly. Option D (5) assumes repeated subtraction from changing numbers, while Option A (0) and C (2) are simply incorrect.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This is a classic riddle - you can only subtract 5 from 25 once, because after the first subtraction, the result is 20, not 25. The question is worded to make you think about repeated operations, but the phrasing refers to the specific operation of subtracting 5 from 25 itself.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Google can directly calculate mathematical expressions when you enter them in the search bar. The expression '((2*6)/3)^2' equals 16 (12/3=4, 4^2=16). You don't need special operators like 'calculate:', 'calc:', or 'show results:' - simply typing the mathematical expression works. Google's calculator recognizes standard mathematical notation and operators.
