Example Questions

Example Question #261 : Fractions

1.2 t +3.2 = 5.36

Which of the following is equal to ?

Possible Answers:

$t= \frac{7}{4}$

$t= \frac{3}{2}$

$t= \frac{9}{5}$

$t= \frac{8}{5}$

Correct answer:

$t= \frac{9}{5}$

Explanation:

1.2 t +3.2 = 5.36

1.2 t +3.2- 3.2 = 5.36 - 3.2

1.2 t = 2.16

$1.2 t \div 1.2 = 2.16\div 1.2$

Move the decimal point in each over one place:

$t= 21.6 \div 1 2 =1.8$

Rewrite as a fraction:

$t= 1.8 = \frac{18}{10} = \frac{9}{5}$

Example Question #11 : How To Subtract Fractions

Solve:

$\frac{3}{7}-\frac{2}{9}=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{9}$

$\frac{13}{63}$

$-\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{6}{63}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{13}{63}$

Find the least common denominator:

The least common denominator of $\small 7$ and $\small 9$ is $\small 63$ .

$\frac{3}{7}=\frac{27}{63}$

$\frac{2}{9}=\frac{14}{63}$

$\frac{27}{63}-\frac{14}{63}=\frac{13}{63}$
