Example Question #193 : Fractions

Solve:

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{3}4=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{8}{15}$

$\frac{6}{5}$

$\frac{3}{10}$

$\frac{5}{9}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{10}$

Explanation:

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{2\times3}{5\times4}=\frac{6}{20}=\frac{3}{10}$

Example Question #11 : Fractions

Multiply the fractions:

$\frac{2}{4}*\frac{5}{7}=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{14}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5}{14}$

Explanation:

To multiply fractions, multiply both numerators on top and both denominators on the bottom.

$\frac{2}{4}*\frac{5}{7}=\frac{2*5}{4*7}=\frac{10}{28}$

Then, reduce to simplest form by removing any common factors:

$\frac{10}{28}=\frac{10\div2}{28\div2}=\frac{5}{14}$

Answer: $\frac{5}{14}$

Example Question #1231 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Solve:

$\small \frac{3}{10}\times \frac{16}{15}=$

Possible Answers:

$\small \frac{8}{25}$

$\small \small \frac{9}{32}$

$\small \frac{41}{30}$

$\small \frac{19}{25}$

$\frac{19}{150}$

Correct answer:

$\small \frac{8}{25}$

Explanation:

$\small \frac{3}{10}\times \frac{16}{15}=\frac{48}{150}=\frac{8}{25}$

Example Question #1232 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Solve for y:

$\frac{3}{2y}=\frac{6}{x}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{x}{3}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{x}{4}$

Explanation:

In order to solve for y, cross multiplication must be used. Appyling cross multiplication, we get:

$\frac{3}{2y}=\frac{6}{x}$

12y=3x

Next, we divide each side by 12.

This results in $y=\frac{x}{4}$

Example Question #1233 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

On Monday, Marsha saw a sweater that she wanted to buy. It was 15 dollars. She went back the next day and saw that it was only 10 dollars. Which of the following is a sale that the store could have been running, explaining the reduced price on the sweater?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{5}$ off

percent off

$\frac{1}{3}$ off

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$ off

Explanation:

Given that the sweater's price was reduced by 5 dollars, this is a one third reduction because one third of 15 dollars is 5 dollars. 15 dollars minus 5 dollars is equal to 10 dollars.

Thus, the correct answer is:

$\frac{1}{3}$ off

Example Question #1 : How To Divide Fractions

$\frac{4^{^{2}}+\left ( 12-4 \right )}{2}$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve:

First, solve the exponent equation within the numerator portion of the fraction:

$\small \small \frac{4^{2} + \left ( 12-4 \right )}{2}=$

Then, solve the equation within the parentheses:

$\small \small \frac{16+8}{2}=$

Then, solve the entire equation in the numerator portion and divide the numerator by the denominator.

$\small \small \frac{24}{2}=12$

Answer: 12

Example Question #2 : How To Divide Fractions

$\small 2 \frac{1}{5} \div 1 \frac{2}{4}=$

Possible Answers:

$\small 4$

$\small 1 \frac{7}{15}$

$\small 3 \frac{3}{10}$

$\small 2 \frac{1}{10}$

Correct answer:

$\small 1 \frac{7}{15}$

Explanation:

To solve:

First, turn the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

$\small \small \small \frac{11}{5}\div \frac{6}{4}=$

Then, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction. Solve accordingly and simplify the answer if possible.

$\small \small \frac{11}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{6}=$

The answer is $\small 1\frac{7}{15}$ .

$\frac{9}{4 9}$

$\frac{13}{14}$

$\frac{49}{9}$

$\frac{4}{9}$

$\frac{9}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{4}{9}$

Explanation:

Rewrite this horizontally as a division expression, rewrite as a product, cross-cancel, and multply across:

$\frac{\frac{2}{7}}{\frac{9}{14}}$ $= \frac{2}{7} \div \frac{9}{14} = \frac{2}{7} \cdot \frac{14}{9} = \frac{2}{1} \cdot \frac{2}{9} = \frac{2\cdot 2}{1\cdot 9} =\frac{4}{9}$
