Ezra loaned Diane $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,090
$1,070
$1,030
$1,060

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 $1,000
i = 0.06 x $1,000

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

total = $1,000 + $60
total = $1,060

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
330 miles
320 miles
315 miles
50 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 55mph \times 6h \)
330 miles

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{5}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

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

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{4}\) - \(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{18}{8} \) - \( \frac{5}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
