Monty loaned Monica $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,530
$1,515
$1,575
$1,605

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 = 0.05 x $1,500

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

total = $1,500 + $75
total = $1,575

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 56 pounds of food in 4 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 140 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
5
6
2
10

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 56 pounds of food in 4 days that's \( \frac{56}{4} \) = 14 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 140 - 56 = 84 more pounds of food to reach 140 pounds total. At 14 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{84}{14} \) = 6 more days.


3

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{5}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{29}{8} \) - \( \frac{14}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{15}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 120 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
8 hours
2 hours
7 hours
6 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{120mi}{15mph} \)
8 hours


5

What is 7x5 x 7x4?

75% Answer Correctly
14x4
49x9
49x-1
14x5

Solution

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

7x5 x 7x4
(7 x 7)x(5 + 4)
49x9
