Example Question #11 : How To Multiply 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 #303 : Arithmetic

Solve:

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

Possible Answers:

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

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

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

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

$\frac{19}{150}$

Correct answer:

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

Explanation:

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

Example Question #12 : How To Multiply Fractions

Solve for y:

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

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{3}$

$\frac{x}{4}$

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 #305 : Arithmetic

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:

percent off

$\frac{2}{5}$ off

$\frac{1}{3}$ off

percent 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 #13 : How To Multiply Fractions

One dollar is equal to about 116.76 Japanese yen. For how many yen should a tourist to Japan be able to exchange $3,000 at that rate (nearest whole yen)?

Possible Answers:

$26\textrm{ yen}$

$3,503 \textrm{ yen }$

$350,280 \textrm{ yen }$

$35,028 \textrm{ yen }$

$257\textrm{ yen}$

Correct answer:

$350,280 \textrm{ yen }$

Explanation:

One dollar is equal to 116.76 yen, so multiply $3,000 by this conversion rate to get

$3,000 \times 116.76 = 350,280$ yen.

Example Question #1238 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Evaluate:

$20 - 7.5 \times 3 - 1.2$

Possible Answers:

- 3.7

22.5

36.3

-1.3

6.5

Correct answer:

- 3.7

Explanation:

By the order of operations, carry out the multiplication first, then the leftmost subtraction, then the rightmost subtraction:

$20 - 7.5 \times 3 - 1.2$

= 20 - 22.5 - 1.2

= - 2.5 - 1.2

$= - 2.5 + \left ( - 1.2 \right )$

= - 3.7

Example Question #14 : How To Multiply Fractions

Raise to the fifth power.

Possible Answers:

cannot be raised to the fifth power.

1,024

625

-1,024

Correct answer:

-1,024

Explanation:

To raise a negative number to an odd-numbered power, raise its absolute value to that power, then make the sign negative:

$\left ( -4 \right ) ^{5 } = - \left ( 4^{5}\right ) = - \left ( 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4\right ) = -1,024$

Example Question #15 : How To Multiply Fractions

Raise to the fourth power.

Possible Answers:

-1,296

4,096

-4,096

1,296

Correct answer:

1,296

Explanation:

To raise a negative number to an even-numbered power, raise its absolute value to that power:

$\left ( -6 \right )^{4} = 6 ^{4} = 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 = 1,296$

Example Question #16 : How To Multiply Fractions

Evaluate:

$15 - \left ( \frac{2}{3} \times 3 + \frac{4}{3}\right )$

Possible Answers:

$13\frac{1}{3}$

$12\frac{1}{9}$

$11 \frac{2}{3}$

$44\frac{1}{3}$

$18\frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$11 \frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

By the order of operations, carry out the operations in parentheses first; since there is a multiplication and an addition present, carry them out in that order. Finally, carry out the subtraction:

$15 - \left ( \frac{2}{3} \times 3 + \frac{4}{3}\right )$

$= 15 - \left ( 2+ \frac{4}{3}\right )$

$= 15 - \frac{10}{3}$

$= 11 \frac{2}{3}$

Example Question #17 : How To Multiply Fractions

Raise $- \frac{2}{3}$ to the fourth power.

Possible Answers:

$\frac{16}{81}$

$- \frac{16}{81}$

$\frac{16} {81}$

$\frac{81}{16}$

$- \frac{8}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{16}{81}$

Explanation:

To raise a negative number to an even-numbered power, raise its absolute value to that power. Also, to raise a fraction to a power, raise its numerator and its denominator to that power. Combine these ideas as follows:

$\left (- \frac{2}{3} \right )^{4} = \left( \frac{2}{3} \right )^{4} = \frac{2^{4} }{3^{4} } = \frac{ 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 }{ 3 \times 3\times 3 \times 3 } \right ) = \frac{16}{81}$
