Roger loaned Bob $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$120
$45
$4
$72
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 $1,500
i = 0.08 x $1,500
i = $120

2

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{3}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{27}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{21}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

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 75 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
4
6
9
10
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 75 - 45 = 30 more pounds of food to reach 75 pounds total. At 5 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{30}{5} \) = 6 more days.
