-==Problem 2==
+==Problem 24==
-What is the value of the product<cmath>\left(1+\frac{1}{1}\right)\cdot\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot\left(1+\frac{1}{3}\right)\cdot\left(1+\frac{1}{4}\right)\cdot\left(1+\frac{1}{5}\right)\cdot\left(1+\frac{1}{6}\right)?</cmath>
-<math>\textbf{(A) }\frac{7}{6}\qquad\textbf{(B) }\frac{4}{3}\qquad\textbf{(C) }\frac{7}{2}\qquad\textbf{(D) }7\qquad\textbf{(E) }8</math>
 ==Solution==
-You may simply the expression to get <math>\frac{2}{1} \cdot \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{6}{5} \cdot \frac{7}{6}</math>.
-Using telescoping, many things cancel out. You are left with <math>\frac{7}{1}</math> which is equivelant to <math>7</math>, or <math>\textbf{(D) }</math>
