Example Questions

Example Question #12 : How To Subtract Fractions

$\frac{12}{3}-\frac{8}{3}=$

Possible Answers:

$1\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$1\frac{2}{3}$

Correct answer:

$1\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

In order to subtract fractions we need to have a common denominator (the number on the bottom of each fractions). In this case we do have common denominators.

We need to then subtract the numerators, in this case 12-8=4 .

After subtracting the numerators we keep the denonimator the same.

$\frac{4}{3}$

This is known as an improper fraction because the numerator is greater than the denominator. So we need to rewrite into a mixed number. Fractions can also be read as division, meaning 4 divided by 3 is????

$1\frac{1}{3}$

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 #262 : Fractions

Solve:

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

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{9}$

$-\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{6}{63}$

$\frac{13}{63}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{13}{63}$

Explanation:

Find the least common denominator:

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

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

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

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

Find the difference:

$\frac{11}{50}-\frac{4}{50}=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{44}{2500}$

$\frac{7}{50}$

$\frac{15}{50}$

$\frac{4}{100}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{7}{50}$

Explanation:

Since the denominators of the two fractions are the same, we can simply subtract one numerator from the other:

$\frac{11}{50}-\frac{4}{50}=\frac{7}{50}$
