Damon loaned Roger $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$77
$28
$56
$88

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 $1,100
i = 0.07 x $1,100
i = $77

3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

83% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.


4

What is \( \frac{3c^6}{7c^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{7}\)c2
\(\frac{3}{7}\)c10
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)c2
\(\frac{3}{7}\)c24

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{3c^6}{7c^4} \)
\( \frac{3}{7} \) c(6 - 4)
\(\frac{3}{7}\)c2
