Think twice.
41, using normal mathematical convention replace the question marks in the following with either a plus, minus, multiplication or division sign ( each only used once)
3 ? 7 ? 4 ? 3. What is the highest possible total ( to two decimal
places.
43, logically what letter is missing from this list: a,f,h,n,y,z?
45, A regular LP vinyl record is 30cm in diameter, the outer non-recorded area is 5mm in width, the centre non-playing area is 10cm in diameter, the grooves are 1/4mm apart, what

In questions like 41, normally each sign would be used once, but you only have three question marks. Is that correct?

45. The question asks for the straight line distance travelled by the stylus (not the distance in the grooves) so it is just the total radius of 15cm minus the outer and inner distances of 0.5 and 5 cm, giving 9.5cm. The groove spacing is not relevant.
