- C.
1 7/20
- D.
12/40
Correct Answer
D. 12/40Explanation
The given question asks for the sum of 6/8 and 6/10. To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 8 and 10 is 40. We then convert both fractions to have a denominator of 40. 6/8 becomes 30/40 and 6/10 becomes 24/40. Adding these fractions gives us a sum of 54/40, which can be simplified to 27/20. However, the correct answer given is 12/40, which is incorrect.Rate this question:

A. 1692Explanation
To find the product of 36 and 47, we multiply the two numbers together. Using long multiplication, we start by multiplying 6 (the units digit of 36) by 47, which gives us 282. We write down the 2 and carry over the 8. Then, we multiply 3 (the tens digit of 36) by 47, which gives us 141. Adding the carried over 8, we get 149. We write down the 9 and carry over the 1. Finally, we multiply 4 (the hundreds digit of 36) by 47, which gives us 188. Adding the carried over 1, we get 189. Therefore, the final answer is 1692.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 26 R6Explanation
When dividing 188 by 7, we find that 7 can go into 18 two times (2 x 7 = 14) with a remainder of 4 (18 - 14 = 4). Then, we bring down the 8 from 188 and divide 48 by 7. This gives us 6 (6 x 7 = 42) with a remainder of 6 (48 - 42 = 6). Therefore, the correct answer is 26 R6, meaning that 188 divided by 7 equals 26 with a remainder of 6.Rate this question:

A. 2/35Explanation
To divide a fraction by a whole number, we can multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number. In this case, we have 2/7 divided by 5. The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5. So, we can rewrite the division as 2/7 multiplied by 1/5. Multiplying the numerators (2 x 1) gives us 2, and multiplying the denominators (7 x 5) gives us 35. Therefore, the answer is 2/35.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 8+(2+3)=(8+2)+3Explanation
The equation 8+(2+3)=(8+2)+3 is an example of the associative property. The associative property states that the grouping of numbers in an addition or multiplication equation does not affect the result. In this equation, both sides have the same grouping of numbers, showing that the order in which the numbers are grouped does not change the final sum.Rate this question:

- C.
200,000
- D.

Correct Answer
B. 2,400Explanation
Bob walks around the block, which has a width of 200 feet and a length of 1,000 feet. To calculate the total distance he walked, we need to find the perimeter of the block. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, we add the width (200 feet) twice and the length (1,000 feet) twice. Therefore, the total distance Bob walked is 200 + 200 + 1,000 + 1,000 = 2,400 feet.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Greater than 70ft² , less that 72ft²Explanation
The ceiling measures 8ft. by 9ft., which gives a total area of 72ft². However, there is a vent that is about 1 square foot, so the actual paintable ceiling area would be slightly less than 72ft². Therefore, a good estimate of the paintable ceiling area would be greater than 70ft², but less than 72ft².Rate this question:
