Simplify \( \frac{36}{48} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{4} \)
\( \frac{5}{16} \)
\( \frac{10}{17} \)
\( \frac{9}{16} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36] and the factors of 48 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12] making 12 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{36}{48} \) = \( \frac{\frac{36}{12}}{\frac{48}{12}} \) = \( \frac{3}{4} \)


2

Ezra loaned Betty $1,300 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
$1,313
$1,339
$1,404
$1,352

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 = 0.04 x $1,300

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

total = $1,300 + $52
total = $1,352

40

Solution

The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 8 factors [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] making 40 the greatest factor 40 and 80 have in common.
