1

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

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

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{3}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{27}{8} \) - \( \frac{1}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{26}{8} \) cups
3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups


2

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

\({1 \over 2}\)

1

-1

0


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


3

If a mayor is elected with 82% of the votes cast and 85% of a town's 15,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
10,583
10,455
10,073
7,140

Solution

If 85% of the town's 15,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{85}{100} \)) x 15,000 = \( \frac{1,275,000}{100} \) = 12,750

The mayor got 82% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{82}{100} \)) x 12,750 = \( \frac{1,045,500}{100} \) = 10,455 votes.


4

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 9 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
2%
9%
12%
7%

Solution

You have 9 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{9}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{9 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{900}{450} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.


5

What is \( \frac{4y^9}{2y^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
2y27
\(\frac{1}{2}\)y12
2y6
2y12

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:

\( \frac{4y^9}{2y^3} \)
\( \frac{4}{2} \) y(9 - 3)
2y6
