Frank loaned Roger $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$7
$88
$90
$80

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 $1,100
i = 0.08 x $1,100
i = $88

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

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

Solution

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

(\( \frac{18}{8} \) - \( \frac{10}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{8}{8} \) cups
1 cups

What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{32} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

35% Answer Correctly
17\( \sqrt{32} \)
41\( \sqrt{2} \)
17\( \sqrt{16} \)
17\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

8\( \sqrt{32} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(8)(4)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
32\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

32\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(32 + 9)\( \sqrt{2} \)
41\( \sqrt{2} \)

How many hours does it take a car to travel 490 miles at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
3 hours
7 hours
6 hours
2 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 = \( \frac{490mi}{70mph} \)
7 hours
