1

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
2 cups
3 cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{3}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{19}{8} \) - \( \frac{13}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{6}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

2

7

9

5


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


3

What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{8} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
5\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{8}{9}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{2}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{8} \) = \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{3} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{3} \) = \( \frac{2 x 8}{6 x 3} \) = \( \frac{16}{18} \) = \(\frac{8}{9}\)


4

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
360
30
1680
3024

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{6!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \)

Alex loaned Charlie $900 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
$8
$21
$49
$45

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 $900
i = 0.05 x $900
i = $45
