Bob loaned Ezra $500 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
$90
$48
$45
$30

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 $500
i = 0.09 x $500
i = $45


2

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

least common factor

absolute value

greatest common factor


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.


3

What is 3\( \sqrt{6} \) x 7\( \sqrt{4} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
21\( \sqrt{4} \)
10\( \sqrt{24} \)
42\( \sqrt{6} \)
21\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{6} \) x 7\( \sqrt{4} \)
(3 x 7)\( \sqrt{6 \times 4} \)
21\( \sqrt{24} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

21\( \sqrt{24} \)
21\( \sqrt{6 \times 4} \)
21\( \sqrt{6 \times 2^2} \)
(21)(2)\( \sqrt{6} \)
42\( \sqrt{6} \)

How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 77 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
5 vans
6 vans
7 vans
8 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{77}{16} \) = 4\(\frac{13}{16}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 12 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
32 m2
72 m2
8 m2
98 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 12 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 12.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 12
w + h = \( \frac{12}{2} \)
w + h = 6
w = 6 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 6 - 2w
3w = 6
w = \( \frac{6}{3} \)
w = 2

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 2) = 4 and the area = h x w = 2 x 4 = 8 m2
