Bob loaned Alex $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$36
$26
$24
$65

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 $1,300
i = 0.05 x $1,300
i = $65


2

What is \( \frac{-9z^6}{1z^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-9z9
-9z18
-9z3
-9z\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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:

\( \frac{-9z^6}{z^3} \)
\( \frac{-9}{1} \) z(6 - 3)
-9z3


3

If a car travels 80 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
35 mph
20 mph
65 mph
30 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{80mi}{4h} \)
20 mph
