1

Which of the following is a mixed number?

83% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


2

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $37, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$14.80
$12.95
$5.55
$18.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $37 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$37 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1295}{100} \) = $12.95 on the second shirt.

Betty scored 88% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 360 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
69
90
73
79

Solution

Betty scored 88% on the test meaning she earned 88% of the possible points on the test. There were 360 possible points on the test so she earned 360 x 0.88 = 316 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{316}{4} \) = 79 questions right.


4

Which of these numbers is a factor of 72?

69% Answer Correctly
26
68
4
30

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 495 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
9 hours
2 hours
4 hours
6 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{495mi}{55mph} \)
9 hours
