74% Answer Correctly
$28
$2
$36
$25

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

i = 0.05 x $500
i = $25

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

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
3 cups

Solution

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

(\( \frac{27}{8} \) - \( \frac{3}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{24}{8} \) cups
3 cups
