\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

Christine scored 92% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 240 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
43
55
58
70

Solution

Christine scored 92% on the test meaning she earned 92% of the possible points on the test. There were 240 possible points on the test so she earned 240 x 0.92 = 220 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{220}{4} \) = 55 questions right.

Bob loaned Roger $600 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$48
$39
$24
$13

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 $600
i = 0.08 x $600
i = $48
