Example Question #173 : Fractions
When dealing with problems that involve fractions and whole numbers, first convert your whole number into a fraction. You can easily do this by putting the whole number over 1.
When multiplying, multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other.
Always reduce a fraction when possible. In this case, the numerator and denominator of are both divisible by 4. So, it reduces to 9.
Example Question #173 : Numbers And Operations
When multiplying fractions, simply multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other.
Always reduce fractions when possible. In this case, both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2.
Example Question #174 : Numbers And Operations
When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators.
When possible, always reduce your fraction. In this case, both 4 and 14 are divisible by 2.
The result is your answer.
Example Question #175 : Numbers And Operations
When dealing with fractions and whole numbers, first convert the whole number into a fraction. This is easily done by putting the whole number over 1.
When multiplying fractions, multiply both the numerators and denominators.
When possible, always reduce your fraction. In this case, since the numerator and denominator is the same, the result is 1.
Example Question #834 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Quantitative Reasoning
The above pentagon has area 100. Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The area of the white region
(b) 25
(a) is the greater quantity
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(b) is the greater quantity
(a) and (b) are equal
(b) is the greater quantity
Of the five triangles of equal area, one of them is white - this is of the pentagon. The pentagon has area 100, so the area of the white triangle is
,
which is less than 25.
Example Question #835 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Quantitative Reasoning
Note: figure NOT drawn to scale
Above are a rectangle and a triangle, each of which is divided equally into smaller shapes. Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The area of the shaded portion of the rectangle
(b) The area of the shaded portion of the triangle
(a) is the greater quantity
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(a) and (b) are equal
(b) is the greater quantity
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
It cannot be determined which of the figures has the greater shaded area, because nothing is given about the areas, or even the comparative areas, of the rectangle and the triangle.
