4.25 is the same as
-
4 1/5
-
41/4
-
42/5
-
41/5
Correct Answer
A. 41/4Explanation
The correct answer is 41/4 because when we convert the mixed number 4 1/5 into an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator of the fraction (5) and add the numerator (1) to get the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator remains the same. So, 4 1/5 becomes (4*5 + 1)/5 = 21/5. To simplify this fraction, we divide the numerator (21) by the denominator (5), which gives us 4 remainder 1. Therefore, 21/5 is equivalent to 4 1/5, which is the same as 41/4.Rate this question:

-
$5.00
-
$5.80
-

Correct Answer
A. $5.80Explanation
The meal cost $5.82. When rounding to the nearest 10 cents, we look at the digit in the hundredth place, which is 8. Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the digit in the tenth place, which is 2, to the next higher number. Therefore, $5.82 rounded to the nearest 10 cents is $5.80.Rate this question:

Mirror tiles measure 10 cm by 10 cm. How many tiles are needed to make a mirror that measures 40 cm by 30 cm?
-
12
-
14
-
70
-
120
Correct Answer
A. 12Explanation
To determine the number of tiles needed, we need to find the area of the mirror and divide it by the area of each tile. The area of the mirror is 40 cm x 30 cm = 1200 cm^2. The area of each tile is 10 cm x 10 cm = 100 cm^2. Dividing the area of the mirror by the area of each tile gives us 1200 cm^2 / 100 cm^2 = 12 tiles. Therefore, 12 tiles are needed to make a mirror that measures 40 cm by 30 cm.Rate this question:
