Damon loaned Diane $500 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $540 | |
| $515 | |
| $520 | |
| $530 |
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 $500
i = 0.08 x $500
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $500 + $40How many hours does it take a car to travel 130 miles at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?
| 3 hours | |
| 2 hours | |
| 1 hour | |
| 7 hours |
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 = \( \frac{130mi}{65mph} \)
2 hours
Which of the following is an improper fraction?
\({7 \over 5} \) |
|
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({a \over 5} \) |
|
\({2 \over 5} \) |
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.
What is the greatest common factor of 52 and 80?
| 20 | |
| 4 | |
| 23 | |
| 1 |
The factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 52 and 80 have in common.
