What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{81}\)
\(\frac{3}{10}\)
\(\frac{2}{15}\)
\(\frac{1}{12}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \) = \( \frac{3 x 2}{8 x 9} \) = \( \frac{6}{72} \) = \(\frac{1}{12}\)

Ezra loaned Charlie $1,200 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
$36
$96
$20
$4

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 = 0.08 x $1,200
i = $96


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $21, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$40.95
$19.95
$31.50
$1.05

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $21 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$21 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$105}{100} \) = $1.05 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$21.00 + ($21.00 - $1.05)
$21.00 + $19.95
$40.95

What is \( \frac{18\sqrt{36}}{6\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{18\sqrt{36}}{6\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{18}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{4} \)
