Roger loaned Jennifer $200 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$214
$202
$206
$216

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 $200
i = 0.01 x $200

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

total = $200 + $2
total = $202

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
41
38
46
44

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


3

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{7} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{56}\)
\(\frac{9}{35}\)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
7

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{7} \) = \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{7}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{7}{4} \) = \( \frac{4 x 7}{6 x 4} \) = \( \frac{28}{24} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)


4

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.


5

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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.
