Example Questions

Example Question #91 : Ged Math

One-fourth of what number is 16 ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the fraction by the whole number. In this case, we do not know the whole number, but we do know the answer. So, we can substitute what we know. So, we get

$\frac{1}{4} \cdot x = 16$

Now, we will solve for x. We get

$\frac{1}{4} \cdot 4 \cdot x = 16 \cdot 4$

x = 64

Example Question #92 : Ged Math

What is $\frac{1}{2}$ of $\frac{4}{5}$ ?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{7}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2}{2.5}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a number, we will multiply the two together. So, we get

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{1 \cdot 4}{2 \cdot 5}$

$\frac{4}{10}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{2}$ of $\frac{4}{5}$ is $\frac{2}{5}$ .

Example Question #93 : Ged Math

What is $\frac{2}{5}$ of 25?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the two together. So, we get

$\frac{2}{5} \cdot 25$

$\frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{25}{1}$

Now, we can simplify before we multiply. The 5 and the 25 can both be divided by 5. So, we get

$\frac{2}{1} \cdot \frac{5}{1}$

$\frac{2 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{10}{1}$

Therefore, $\frac{2}{5}$ of 25 is 10.

Example Question #92 : Numbers And Operations

What is a third of 36?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the fraction by the whole number.

Now, we know a third is the same as $\frac{1}{3}$ . So, we get

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot 36$

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{36}{1}$

$\frac{1 \cdot 36}{3 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{36}{3}$

Therefore, a third of 36 is 12.

Example Question #93 : Numbers And Operations

One-fifth of what number is 19 ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{5} \cdot x = 19$

Now, we will solve for x. We get

$\frac{1}{5} \cdot 5 \cdot x = 19 \cdot 5$

x = 95

Example Question #91 : Numbers And Operations

What is a third of 42?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a number, we will multiply the two together.

Now, we know a third is the same as $\frac{1}{3}$ . So, we get

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot 42$

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{42}{1}$

$\frac{1 \cdot 42}{3 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{42}{3}$

Therefore, a third of 42 is 14.

Example Question #94 : Ged Math

What is a quarter of 60?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the two together.

Now, we know a quarter is the same as $\frac{1}{4}$ . So, we get

$\frac{1}{4} \cdot 60$

$\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{60}{1}$

$\frac{1 \cdot 60}{4 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{60}{4}$

Therefore, a quarter of 60 is 15.

Example Question #41 : Decimals And Fractions

What is $\frac{2}{3}$ of 93?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the two together. So, we get

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot 93$

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{93}{1}$

Now, we can simplify to make things easier. The 3 and the 93 can both be divided by 3. So, we get

$\frac{2}{1} \cdot \frac{31}{1}$

$\frac{2 \cdot 31}{1 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{62}{1}$

Therefore, $\frac{2}{3}$ of 93 is 62.

Example Question #94 : Numbers And Operations

Find $\frac{3}{4}$ of 88.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the two numbers together. So, we get

$\frac{3}{4} \cdot 88$

$\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{88}{1}$

Now, we can simplify. The 4 and the 88 can both be divided by 4. So, we get

$\frac{3}{1} \cdot \frac{22}{1}$

$\frac{3 \cdot 22}{1 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{66}{1}$

Therefore, $\frac{3}{4}$ of 88 is 66.

Example Question #100 : Numbers

What is $\frac{1}{3}$ of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the two together. So, we get

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot 54$

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{54}{1}$

$\frac{1 \cdot 54}{3 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{54}{3}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{3}$ of is .
