2 and 2/5 times 1 and 1/2. Write your answer as a mixed number.
- A.
3 and 3/5
- B.
2 and 2/10
- C.
18/5
Correct Answer
A. 3 and 3/5Explanation
To multiply mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions. 2 and 2/5 can be written as 12/5, and 1 and 1/2 can be written as 3/2. Multiplying 12/5 and 3/2 gives us 36/10, which can be simplified to 3 and 3/5.Rate this question:

Find 2/3 divided by 4/5.
- A.
8/15
- B.
6/8
- C.
5/6
Correct Answer
C. 5/6Explanation
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, we have (2/3) divided by (4/5), which is the same as (2/3) multiplied by (5/4). Multiplying the numerators gives us 10, and multiplying the denominators gives us 12. Therefore, the result of the division is 10/12, which simplifies to 5/6.Rate this question:

1 and 5/7 divided by 1/2.
- A.
3 and 3/7
- B.
3
- C.
24/8
Correct Answer
A. 3 and 3/7Explanation
To divide a mixed number by a fraction, we first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. In this case, 1 and 5/7 can be written as (7/7 + 5/7) = 12/7. Then, we multiply the numerator of the improper fraction by the reciprocal of the divisor. The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1. So, (12/7) * (2/1) = 24/7. Finally, we convert the resulting improper fraction back into a mixed number, which is 3 and 3/7.Rate this question:

You have 2 and 1/2 cups of sugar. A recipe calls for 2/3 of sugar. How many batches of the recipe can you make with the sugar you have?
- A.
3 and 3/4 batches
- B.
1 and 1/3 batches
- C.
1 and 2/3 batches
Correct Answer
A. 3 and 3/4 batchesExplanation
To find out how many batches of the recipe can be made with 2 and 1/2 cups of sugar, we need to divide the total amount of sugar by the amount of sugar required for each batch. The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar per batch. So, we can calculate it as 2 and 1/2 divided by 2/3. To divide a whole number by a fraction, we need to multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction. Therefore, 2 and 1/2 multiplied by 3/2 equals 3 and 3/4. Hence, we can make 3 and 3/4 batches of the recipe with the given amount of sugar.Rate this question:
