• Years

• Weeks

To solve for time in the simple interest formula, which operation is used?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

What is the formula for time when solving the simple interest equation?

• T = I + PR

• T = I - PR

• T = PR / I

• T = I / (PR)

When solving for the principal in the simple interest formula, what is the resulting equation?

• P = I / (RT)

• P = I * RT

• P = RT / I

• P = I + RT

In the distance formula, what does 'R' represent?

• Rate

• Radius

• Distance

• Time

If Miss Johnson needs to drive 30 miles in half an hour, what speed must she maintain?

• 60 mph

• 90 mph

• 45 mph

• 30 mph

How many miles per hour must Miss Johnson drive to reach Target Field in 15 minutes?

• 35 mph

• 28 mph

• 21 mph

• 14 mph

What is the perimeter formula for a rectangle?

• P = L * W

• P = 2L + 2W

• P = 2(L + W)

• P = L + W
