1

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

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

Solution

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

(\( \frac{20}{8} \) - \( \frac{1}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{19}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups

3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 75 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
2 hours
5 hours
4 hours
1 hour

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 = \( \frac{75mi}{15mph} \)
5 hours

Bob loaned Betty $500 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
$525
$540
$530
$520

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 = 0.06 x $500

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

total = $500 + $30
total = $530


5

Jennifer scored 84% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 400 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Jennifer answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
69
71
91
84

Solution

Jennifer scored 84% on the test meaning she earned 84% of the possible points on the test. There were 400 possible points on the test so she earned 400 x 0.84 = 336 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{336}{4} \) = 84 questions right.
