<gadget id="calculator"> (16/4)</gadget>
<output>4</output>
4% I have actually never seen a question with quarter rate given but since this question did not mentionannual rate of interestand since the options did not make sense with 4% annual rate of interest, it is apparent that the intent was a 4% quarterly rate. So the bank charges 4% every quarter and compounds it in the next quarter. Had it been a simple quarterly rate, we would have just found 4 * 4% of 10,000= $1600 as our answer. But since, the interest is compounded, it will be a bit more than $1600. Option ($1600) looks correct.

aqua_rat__DgQuuFj2Bk6OYv4X | q is a positive integer and multiple of 2; p = 4^q, what is the remainder when p is divided by 10? Answers
A) 10
B) 6
C) 4
D) 0
E) It Cannot Be Determined | It is essential to recognize that the remainder when an integer is divided by 10 is simply the units digit of that integer. To help see this, consider the following examples: 4/10 is 0 with a remainder of 4 14/10 is 1 with a remainder of 4 5/10 is 0 with a remainder of 5 105/10 is 10 with a remainder of 5 It is also essential to remember that the q is a positive integer and multiple of 2. Any integer that is a multiple of 2 is an even number. So, q must be a positive even integer. With these two observations, the question can be simplified to:what is the units digit of 4 raised to an even positive integer? The units digit of 4 raised to an integer follows a specific repeating pattern: 4^1 = 4 4^2 = 16 4^3 = 64 4^4 = 256 4^(odd number) --> units digit of 4 4^(even number) --> units digit of 6 There is a clear pattern regarding the units digit. 4 raised to any odd integer has a units digit of 4 while 4 raised to any even integer has a units digit of 6. Since q must be an even integer, the units digit of p=4^q will always be 6. Consequently, the remainder when p=4^q is divided by 10 will always be 6. In case this is too theoretical, consider the following examples: q=2 --> p=4^q=16 --> p/10 = 1 with a remainder of 6 q=4 --> p=4^q=256 --> p/10 = 25 with a remainder of 6 q=6 --> p=4^q=4096 --> p/10 = 409 with a remainder of 6 q=8 --> p=4^q=65536 --> p/10 = 6553 with a remainder of 6 Answer: 6.

This week, he earned more than twice as much as he did last week. If he sold x bicycles last week and y bicycles this week, which of the following statements must be true?
I. y<2x
II. y>x
III. y>3 Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) I,II only B) I only C) II,III only D) II only E) III only | II. y>x --> since this week, James earned more than he did last week and the total salary is in direct relationship with the # of bicycle sold, then y (# of bicycle sold this week) must be more than x (# of bicycle sold last week); III. y>3 --> if James sold 3 bicycles this week then this week he earned 30+3*6=

Pick one:
A) Q=3 B) Q=4 C) 6 D) 8 E) 12 | Another way to look at the problem... Since the total is 120, RATIO * CLASSES = R*C = 120.....(i) we are looking where ratio increases by 1 and # of classes decreases by 10 = (R+1)(C-10) = RC+C-10R-10=120....(ii) (ii)-(i).... C=10R+10 = 10(R+1)....... so # of classes has to be multiple of 10 AS RC=120.... 10(R+1)*R = 120...................R(R+1) = 12.. so 12 is a multiple of consecutive numbers ONLY 3 *4 fits in..... and R=3 Q=3

A) W=–2^n = (–2)^-n B) 2^-n = (–2)^n C) 2^n = (–2)^-n D) (–2)^n = –2^n E) (–2)^-n = –2^-n | While it is possible to reason out which of these choices must not work, we may not have time or the confidence to do so. However, this problem has variable in its answer choice, and relatively simple math. Therefore, an easy alternative is picking numbers. Since we're dealing with exponents, we want to keep things as easy as possible. Hence, we'll start with the easiest exponent possible: n = 1. A, B, and C are not solved (x^-n = 1/(x^n), so we're comparing integers to fractions), but choices D and E both end up valid, eliminating them from contention. In the process of doing this, however, we've uncovered a major clue to our next step: A, B, and C, all compared integers to fractions, and the only integer equal to it's reciprocal is 1, which is equal to 1/1. This, in turn, tells us the we need to pick n = 0. Remember, for all non-zero x, x^0 = 1. If we plug n = 0 into choices B and C, we end up with 1 = 1 both times. Choice A, however, results in the false 1 = -1. Thus, we conclude that the first choice has no valid solutions, and is therefore the correct answer.

Dataset Card for Calc-aqua_rat
Summary
This dataset is an instance of AQuA-RAT dataset extended with in-context calls of a sympy calculator.
Supported Tasks
The dataset is intended for training Chain-of-Thought reasoning models able to use external tools to enhance the factuality of their responses. This dataset presents in-context scenarios where models can outsource the computations in the reasoning chain to a calculator.
Construction Process
The dataset was constructed automatically by evaluating all candidate calls to a sympy
library that were extracted from the originally annotated
rationales. The selection of candidates is pivoted by the matching of equals ('=') symbols in the chain, where the left-hand side of the equation is evaluated,
and accepted as a correct gadget call, if the result occurs closely on the right-hand side.
Therefore, the extraction of calculator calls may inhibit false negatives (where the calculator could have been used but was not), but not any known
false positives.
We also perform in-dataset and cross-dataset data-leak detection within the Calc-X collection. Specifically for AQuA-RAT, we removed a few percent of the train split that were near-duplicates with some of the test or validation examples.
A full description of the extraction process can be found in the corresponding parse script,
If you find an issue in the dataset or in the fresh version of the parsing script, we'd be happy if you report it, or create a PR.
Data splits
The dataset with the near-duplicates removed can be loaded in the default config using:
datasets.load_dataset("MU-NLPC/calc-aqua_rat")
If you want the unfiltered version, you can use:
datasets.load_dataset("MU-NLPC/calc-aqua_rat", "original-splits")
Attributes
- id: an id of the example
- question: A natural language definition of the problem to solve, including the options to choose from
- chain: A natural language step-by-step solution with automatically inserted calculator calls and outputs of the sympy calculator
- result: The correct option (one of A...E)
- options: a dictionary with 5 possible options (A, B, C, D and E), among which one is correct
- question_without_options: same as question but without the options inserted
Attributes id, question, chain, and result are present in all datasets in Calc-X collection.
