1

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

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

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{2}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{28}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{22}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $10, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$5.00
67
$4.00
$3.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $10 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$10 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$300}{100} \) = $3.00 on the second shirt.

What is \( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{3}{7} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{9}{35}\)
1
\(\frac{6}{35}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{3}{7} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{9 x 7} \) = \( \frac{9}{63} \) = \(\frac{1}{7}\)
