Example Questions

Example Question #1016 : Numbers And Operations

Evaluate:

$20 - 7.5 \times\left ( 3 - 1.2 \right )$

Possible Answers:

-1.3

22.5

36.3

- 3.7

6.5

Correct answer:

6.5

Explanation:

By the order of operations, carry out the operation in parentheses, which is the rightmost subtraction, then the multiplication, then the leftmost subtraction:

$20 - 7.5 \times\left ( 3 - 1.2 \right )$

$= 20 - 7.5 \times 1.8$

= 20 - 13.5

= 6.5

Example Question #2 : Multiplicative Identity Property

Which of the following statements demonstrates the identity property of multiplication?

Possible Answers:

$\left (\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{7} \right ) \times \frac{6}{11} = \frac{2}{3} \times\left ( \frac{5}{7} \times \frac{6}{11} \right )$

$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} = 1$

$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{7} = \frac{5}{7} \times \frac{2}{3}$

None of the examples in the other responses demonstrates the identity property of multiplication.

$\frac{2}{3} \times 1 = \frac{2}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{3} \times 1 = \frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The identity property of multiplication states that there is a number 1, called the multiplicative identity, that can be multiplied by any number to obtain that number. Of the four statements,

$\frac{2}{3} \times 1 = \frac{2}{3}$

demonstrates this property.

Example Question #62 : Fractions

Express the quotient as a fraction in lowest terms:

$5 \frac{3}{5} \div 4 \frac{1}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{5}$

$1 \frac{3}{4}$

$1 \frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$1 \frac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

$1 \frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions, change to a multiplication by inverting the second, cross-cancel, and multiply across:

$5 \frac{3}{5} \div 4 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{28}{5 } \div \frac{21}{5 } = \frac{28}{5 } \cdot \frac{5}{21 }= \frac{4}{1 } \cdot \frac{1}{3 }= \frac{4}{3 }$

Example Question #63 : Fractions

Express the quotient as a fraction in lowest terms:

$4 \frac{1}{5} \div 5 \frac{3}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{5}{7}$

$1 \frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{6}{7}$

$1 \frac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

Rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions, change to a multiplication by inverting the second, cross-cancel, and multiply across:

$4 \frac{1}{5} \div 5 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{21}{5} \div \frac{28}{5} = \frac{21}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{28} = \frac{3}{1} \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{8}{25}$

$\frac{5}{3}$

$\frac{1}{15}$

$\frac{3}{5}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Multiply by the reciprocal, cross-cancel, then multiply numerators and denominators:

$\frac{12}{5} \div \frac{4}{25} = \frac{12}{5} \times \frac{25}{4} = \frac{3}{1} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{15}{1} = 15$

$\frac{1}{15}$

$\frac{5}{3}$

$\frac{3}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{15}$

Explanation:

Multiply by the reciprocal, cross-cancel, then multiply numerators and denominators:

$\frac{4}{25} \div \frac{12}{5} = \frac{4}{25} \times \frac{5}{12} = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{15}$

$\frac{5}{4}$

$\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$

Explanation:

Multiply by the reciprocal, cross-cancel, then multiply numerators and denominators:

$\frac{5}{8} \div \frac{25}{16} = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{16}{25} = \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$
