Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 4/5 (there is more than one correct answer)
- A.
40/50
- B.
8/10
- C.
16/25
- D.
12/15
Correct Answer(s)
A. 40/50
B. 8/10
D. 12/15Explanation
The fractions 40/50, 8/10, and 12/15 are all equivalent to 4/5. This is because when we simplify these fractions, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number to get the same simplified fraction. In this case, we can divide both 40 and 50 by 10, both 8 and 10 by 2, and both 12 and 15 by 3 to simplify each fraction to 4/5.Rate this question:

3x + 2x =
- A.
6x
- B.
5x
- C.
 6 + 2x
- D.
6 (x + x)
Correct Answer
B. 5xExplanation
The given expression is 3x + 2x. To simplify this expression, we can combine the like terms, which in this case are the terms with the same variable, x. Adding the coefficients of the like terms, we get 3 + 2 = 5. Therefore, the simplified expression is 5x.Rate this question:

- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. 6abExplanation
The given expression, 2 x a x 3 x b, can be simplified by multiplying the coefficients (2 and 3) and the variables (a and b) together. Multiplying 2 and 3 gives 6, and multiplying a and b gives ab. Therefore, the simplified expression is 6ab.Rate this question:

- B.
A + 6
- C.
2a + 6
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. 2a + 6Explanation
The given expression is 2(a + 3), which means that 2 is multiplied by the sum of a and 3. To simplify this expression, we can distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses. This gives us 2a + 6, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Solve y for 2y + 3 = 13 is
- A.
Y = 3
- B.
Y = 4
- C.
Y = 5
- D.
Y = 6
Correct Answer
C. Y = 5Explanation
To solve for y in the equation 2y + 3 = 13, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. First, we subtract 3 from both sides to get 2y = 10. Then, we divide both sides by 2 to find that y = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is y = 5.Rate this question:

Simplify 21/30
- A.
2/3
- B.
7/10
- C.
3/10
Correct Answer
B. 7/10Explanation
To simplify 21/30, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. Dividing 21 by 3 gives us 7, and dividing 30 by 3 gives us 10. Therefore, the simplified form of 21/30 is 7/10.Rate this question:

Express 12/5 as a mixed numeral
- A.
5 2/12
- B.
2 2/5
- C.
2.20
- D.
15 2/5
Correct Answer
B. 2 2/5Explanation
To express 12/5 as a mixed numeral, we need to divide the numerator (12) by the denominator (5). The quotient is 2, which becomes the whole number part of the mixed numeral. The remainder is 2, which becomes the numerator of the fractional part. The denominator remains the same (5). Therefore, the mixed numeral representation of 12/5 is 2 2/5.Rate this question:

7m x 3 =
- A.
7m + 3m
- B.
21m
- C.
21 + m
Correct Answer
B. 21mExplanation
The given expression, 7m x 3, represents the multiplication of 7m by 3. To multiply a number by a variable, we multiply the coefficients and combine the variables. In this case, the coefficient of m is 7, and multiplying it by 3 gives us 21. Therefore, the expression simplifies to 21m.Rate this question:

- D.
4a + 7b
Correct Answer
A. 7a + 28bExplanation
The given expression is 4(a + 7b). To expand this expression, we distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses. This gives us 4a + 28b. Therefore, the correct expanded form of 4(a + 7b) is 7a + 28b.Rate this question:

- C.
16a + 7 - 2b
- D.
23a - 2ab
Correct Answer
D. 23a - 2abExplanation
The given expression, a (16 + 7 - 2b), can be expanded by applying the distributive property. This means multiplying each term inside the parentheses by the value outside the parentheses, which is 'a'. Doing this, we get 16a + 7a - 2ab. Simplifying further, we combine like terms to get the final expanded form: 23a - 2ab.Rate this question:
