    Write 9/10 in simplest form.  If simplified, write the original fraction. 

    Explanation
    The fraction 9/10 is already in its simplest form. There are no common factors that can be divided from both the numerator and denominator to simplify it further. Therefore, the original fraction is 9/10.

    Rate this question:

    Which decimal is greater?

    • 2.36

    • 2.63

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.63
    Explanation
    The decimal 2.63 is greater than 2.36 because the digit in the tenths place is larger in 2.63 (6) compared to 2.36 (3). When comparing decimals, you start from the left and compare each digit until you find a difference. In this case, the tenths place is the first place where the digits are different, and since 6 is greater than 3, 2.63 is the greater decimal.

    Write 12/14 in simplest form. If simplified, write the original fraction. 

    Correct Answer
    6/7
    Explanation
    To simplify the fraction 12/14, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. When we divide 12 by 2, we get 6, and when we divide 14 by 2, we get 7. Therefore, the simplified form of 12/14 is 6/7.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Write 7/28 in simplest form.  If simplified, write the original fraction. 

    Correct Answer
    1/4
    Explanation
    To simplify the fraction 7/28, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 7. When we divide 7 by 7, we get 1, and when we divide 28 by 7, we get 4. Therefore, the simplified form of 7/28 is 1/4.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    SPANISH The school newspaper reported that 20 out of every 60 students in the school take Spanish. Write a fraction in simplest form for these results.

    Correct Answer
    1/3
    Explanation
    The fraction 1/3 represents the ratio of the number of students who take Spanish to the total number of students in the school. In this case, out of every 60 students, 20 take Spanish. Simplifying this fraction gives us 1/3, indicating that one-third of the students in the school take Spanish.

    Rate this question:

    Which decimal is greater?

    • 0.51

    • 0.051

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.51
    Explanation
    0.51 is greater than 0.051 because the first decimal place in 0.51 is 5, which is greater than the first decimal place in 0.051, which is 0. Therefore, 0.51 is greater than 0.051.
