Tasks at this
level may require multiplication or division as well as addition and
subtraction. Simple sequential operations may also be needed. The numbers
operated upon tend not to be adjacent, although they may still appear in the
same row or column. Some search and cycling is usually required. At this level,
the operation to be performed will have to be inferred and specialized language
may require interpretation (calculate the current balance, calculate the
discounted sale price, etc.) Distracting numbers are present and plausible.
