A tiger in a zoo has consumed 64 pounds of food in 8 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 96 pounds?
| 6 | |
| 11 | |
| 7 | |
| 4 |
If the tiger has consumed 64 pounds of food in 8 days that's \( \frac{64}{8} \) = 8 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 96 - 64 = 32 more pounds of food to reach 96 pounds total. At 8 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{32}{8} \) = 4 more days.
\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?
distributive property for multiplication |
|
distributive property for division |
|
commutative property for division |

commutative property for multiplication |
The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
A machine in a factory has an error rate of 7 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 9 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 130.3 | |
| 69.8 | |
| 92 | |
| 182.4 |
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{7}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{7 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{35}{100} \) = 0.35 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.35 = 4.65 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 9 = 15 hours yesterday so you would expect that 15 x 4.65 = 69.8 error free parts were produced yesterday.
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $33, how much money will he save?
| $1.65 | |
| $4.95 | |
| $6.60 | |
| $13.20 |
By buying two shirts, Roger will save $33 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$33 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$165}{100} \) = $1.65 on the second shirt.
