Bob loaned Monty $1,200 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$72
$32
$108
$20

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 $1,200
i = 0.09 x $1,200
i = $108

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 8 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
7
8
4
4

Solution

To fill a 8 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 4


3

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

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive 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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 35,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
26,250
37,500
31,200
30,833

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

35,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{105000}{4} \) = 26,250 fans.

If a car travels 180 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
45 mph
55 mph
75 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 = \( \frac{180mi}{4h} \)
45 mph
