1

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

62% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups

Solution

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

(\( \frac{16}{8} \) - \( \frac{9}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{7}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups


2

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


3

Alex loaned Charlie $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$99
$14
$126
$60

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 = 0.09 x $1,100
i = $99

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $20, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$10.00
$9.00
$3.00
$7.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $20 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$20 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1000}{100} \) = $10.00 on the second shirt.
