Cool Math Cache Mystery Cache
pi31415sky: Sadly I need to archive this mystery cache due to PI at GZ and a new ‘no trespassing’ sign nearby. It’s been fun!

This is my second puzzle cache. The cache is not hidden at the provided coordinates so you must first solve the Pre-Algebra problems below to come up with the correct coordinates. I wanted to continue the tradition I started last year by having my Pre-Algebra class help create this puzzle cache as a review of some of their work this year.
My students had fun creating this puzzle for you to solve. I enjoyed enabling and creating new geocachers. Have fun!
* symbolizes multiplication
/ symbolizes division
^ symbolizes exponent (raised to the power of)
( ) are grouping symbols - remember PEMDAS!
The final coordinates follow the following pattern: N40 1A.BCD W075 3E.FGH
A = (3/1) / (1/3)
B = -17 + 18 * 1 + 0
2C + 5 - 3 = 4
(2.5)^2 - (D/4) = 5
E = 4 * 2(0.25)
F - 14 = -7
126 + 2 * 7 = 28G
4H - 16 = 11 + H
The container is small and does not contain a pencil. Please BYOP and possibly an extraction tool. You can contact me via e-mail if you want to check your solution. I might add a checker, but wanted this out there before the end of the school year.
Congrats to waterbugme on FTF - yes, you get an "A" in Algebra! Thanks for playing!
