1

A bread recipe calls for 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

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

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (1\(\frac{7}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{15}{8} \) - \( \frac{12}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{3}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups


2

Simplify \( \sqrt{63} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{7} \)
4\( \sqrt{14} \)
5\( \sqrt{14} \)
9\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{63} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \)
3\( \sqrt{7} \)


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

Which of these numbers is a factor of 48?

69% Answer Correctly
15
48
23
43

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48.


5

If a car travels 75 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
70 mph
25 mph
60 mph
50 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{75mi}{3h} \)
25 mph
