  • 2. 

    Find 2/3 divided by 4/5.

    • 8/15

    • 6/8

    • 5/6

    Correct Answer
    A. 5/6
    Explanation
    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.

  • 3. 

    Find  ¼ of 3/8.

    • 4/12

    • 3/32

    • 2/3

    Correct Answer
    A. 3/32
    Explanation
    To find ¼ of 3/8, we multiply 3/8 by ¼. When we multiply the numerators (3 * 1) and the denominators (8 * 4), we get 3/32. Therefore, the correct answer is 3/32.

    A. $24
    Explanation
    Michal spent 3/5 of his earnings on a video game. To find out how much he spent, we need to calculate 3/5 of $40. To do this, we multiply $40 by 3/5, which gives us $24. Therefore, Michal spent $24 on the video game.

    • 1/8 of the box

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/8 of the box
    Explanation
    Emily divided 1/2 of the box of cereal evenly among 4 bowls. To find out how much of the box of cereal she poured in each bowl, we need to divide 1/2 by 4. When we divide 1/2 by 4, we get 1/8, which means Emily poured 1/8 of the box of cereal in each bowl.

    • 9 and 1/2

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 and 3/8
    Explanation
    To find half of 2 ¾, we divide it by 2. When we divide 2 by 2, we get 1. When we divide ¾ by 2, we get 3/8. Therefore, half of 2 ¾ is 1 and 3/8.

    Evan had 2/5 of a pizza left over. He gave 1/3 of the leftover pizza to his brother. How much of the total pizza did his brother get?

    • 1/15

    • 2/15

    • 11/15

    Correct Answer
    A. 2/15
    Explanation
    Evan had 2/5 of a pizza left over. He gave 1/3 of the leftover pizza to his brother. To find out how much of the total pizza his brother got, we need to multiply the fraction of leftover pizza by the fraction given to his brother. Multiplying 2/5 by 1/3 gives us 2/15, which represents the fraction of the total pizza that his brother received.

    2 and 2/5 times 1 and 1/2. Write your answer as a mixed number.

    • 3 and 3/5

    • 2 and 2/10

    • 18/5

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 and 3/5
    Explanation
    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.

    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?  

    • 3 and 3/4 batches

    • 1 and 1/3 batches

    • 1 and 2/3 batches

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 and 3/4 batches
    Explanation
    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.

    • 1/6

    • 1/3

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/3
    Explanation
    The question states that the person picked 1/2 pound of blueberries. They used 2/3 of what they picked to make a cobbler. To find the amount used for the cobbler, we need to multiply 1/2 by 2/3. When we multiply these fractions, we get 2/6. Simplifying 2/6, we get 1/3. Therefore, the person used 1/3 pound of blueberries to make the cobbler.
