1

Bob loaned Frank $300 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$6
$40
$36
$48

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 $300
i = 0.02 x $300
i = $6


2

What is \( \frac{8\sqrt{10}}{4\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{8\sqrt{10}}{4\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{8}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{10}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)


3

What is \( \frac{-4x^7}{3x^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)x3
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x3
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x11
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)x11

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-4x^7}{3x^4} \)
\( \frac{-4}{3} \) x(7 - 4)
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x3


4

Convert 3,178,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
3.178 x 105
3.178 x 10-5
3.178 x 106
3.178 x 107

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

3,178,000 in scientific notation is 3.178 x 106

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 45 pounds of food in 9 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 70 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
5
8
7
13

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 45 pounds of food in 9 days that's \( \frac{45}{9} \) = 5 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 70 - 45 = 25 more pounds of food to reach 70 pounds total. At 5 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{25}{5} \) = 5 more days.
