A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $17, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$6.80
$18.70
$27.20
$10.20

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $17 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$17 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$680}{100} \) = $6.80 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$17.00 + ($17.00 - $6.80)
$17.00 + $10.20
$27.20

If a car travels 225 miles in 9 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
50 mph
75 mph
60 mph
25 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{225mi}{9h} \)
25 mph


3

What is \( \frac{1}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{24}\)
\(\frac{3}{20}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{1}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \) = \( \frac{1 x 6}{8 x 1} \) = \( \frac{6}{8} \) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
