What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) + \( \frac{4}{16} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{8}{16} \)
\( \frac{6}{11} \)
\( \frac{1}{16} \)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 16 are [16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [16, 32, 48, 64, 80] making 16 the smallest multiple 8 and 16 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 2}{8 x 2} \) + \( \frac{4 x 1}{16 x 1} \)

\( \frac{6}{16} \) + \( \frac{4}{16} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{6 + 4}{16} \) = \( \frac{10}{16} \) = \(\frac{5}{8}\)

Frank loaned Monica $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,560
$1,575
$1,605
$1,590

Solution

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 $1,500
i = 0.04 x $1,500

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,500 + $60
total = $1,560
