If the tiger has consumed 96 pounds of food in 8 days that's \( \frac{96}{8} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 156 - 96 = 60 more pounds of food to reach 156 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{60}{12} \) = 5 more days.

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $900
i = 0.04 x $900
i = $36

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.

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{4}\) - 1\(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{26}{8} \) - \( \frac{13}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
