Bob loaned Jennifer $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,040
$1,010
$1,020
$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 = 0.02 x $1,000

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

total = $1,000 + $20
total = $1,020


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

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.


3

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

commutative

PEDMAS

associative

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 54 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
162 m2
128 m2
32 m2
50 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 54 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 54.

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

2w + 2h = 54
w + h = \( \frac{54}{2} \)
w + h = 27
w = 27 - h

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

w = 27 - 2w
3w = 27
w = \( \frac{27}{3} \)
w = 9

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 9) = 18 and the area = h x w = 9 x 18 = 162 m2


5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
385 miles
490 miles
180 miles
140 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 = \( 70mph \times 7h \)
490 miles
