1

Frank loaned Frank $600 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$56
$98
$18
$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 $600
i = 0.03 x $600
i = $18


2

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

all of these are false

b0 = 1

b1 = b


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


3

Christine scored 89% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 300 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
94
96
89
104

Solution

Christine scored 89% on the test meaning she earned 89% of the possible points on the test. There were 300 possible points on the test so she earned 300 x 0.89 = 267 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{267}{3} \) = 89 questions right.


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 90 miles at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
4 hours
5 hours
1 hour
3 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 = \( \frac{90mi}{30mph} \)
3 hours


5

What is 8\( \sqrt{3} \) x 8\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
64\( \sqrt{5} \)
64\( \sqrt{8} \)
16\( \sqrt{3} \)
64\( \sqrt{15} \)

Solution

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

8\( \sqrt{3} \) x 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
(8 x 8)\( \sqrt{3 \times 5} \)
64\( \sqrt{15} \)
