1

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

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

Solution

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

(\( \frac{27}{8} \) - \( \frac{11}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{16}{8} \) cups
2 cups


2

April scored 89% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 400 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
75
77
89
95

Solution

April scored 89% on the test meaning she earned 89% of the possible points on the test. There were 400 possible points on the test so she earned 400 x 0.89 = 356 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{356}{4} \) = 89 questions right.

How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 12 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
7
3
3
6

Solution

To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3

5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 270 miles at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
8 hours
9 hours
6 hours
4 hours

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{270mi}{45mph} \)
6 hours
