1

What is \( \frac{4}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{8} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{15}\)
1
\(\frac{1}{21}\)
8

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{8} \) = \( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{8}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{8}{4} \) = \( \frac{4 x 8}{8 x 4} \) = \( \frac{32}{32} \) = 1

4

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 6 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 9 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

48% Answer Correctly
141
167.6
192.1
138

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{6}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{6 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{60}{100} \) = 0.6 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.6 = 9.4 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 9 = 15 hours yesterday so you would expect that 15 x 9.4 = 141 error free parts were produced yesterday.


5

Charlie loaned Betty $200 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$208
$218
$214
$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 = 0.09 x $200

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

total = $200 + $18
total = $218
