2

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

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

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{3}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{19}{8} \) - \( \frac{10}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{9}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups


3

Alex loaned Ezra $200 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
$20
$16
$14
$8

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 $200
i = 0.07 x $200
i = $14

9 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 2-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
3
5
4

Solution

There are 3 2-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 2 = 6 total seats. There are 9 people needing transportation leaving 9 - 6 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.


5

What is \( \frac{35\sqrt{36}}{5\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)
4 \( \sqrt{7} \)
4 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{35\sqrt{36}}{5\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{35}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)
