2

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

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

Solution

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

(\( \frac{30}{8} \) - \( \frac{14}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{16}{8} \) cups
2 cups


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

-1

\({1 \over 2}\)

0

1


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.

Ezra loaned Jennifer $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,040
$1,020
$1,080
$1,050

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 = 0.04 x $1,000

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

total = $1,000 + $40
total = $1,040
