Example Questions

Example Question #17 : Fractions

Simplify:

$\frac{5 \frac{1}{4}}{1 \frac{5}{9}}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{6}{49}$

$3 \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{8}{27}$

$8 \frac{1}{6}$

$5 \frac{9}{20}$

Correct answer:

$3 \frac{3}{8}$

Explanation:

Rewrite as a division, then solve:

$\frac{5 \frac{1}{4}}{1 \frac{5}{9}}$

$= 5 \frac{1}{4} \div 1 \frac{5}{9}$

$= \frac{1 + 5 \times 4}{4} \div \frac{5 + 1 \times 9}{9}$

$= \frac{21}{4} \div \frac{14}{9}$

$= \frac{21}{4} \times \frac{9}{14}$

$= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{9}{2}$

$= \frac{3 \times 9}{4 \times 2} = \frac{27}{8} = 3 \frac{3}{8}$

Example Question #1161 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

$\frac{1}{2}\div\frac{3}{8}=$

Possible Answers:

$5\tfrac{1}{3}$

$1\tfrac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3}{16}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

Correct answer:

$1\tfrac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, first find the reciprocal of the second fraction and change the problem to multiplication:

$\frac{1}{2}\div\frac{3}{8}\rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{8}{3}$

You then treat the problem like any other multiplication problem and multiply straight across.

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{8}{3}=\frac{8}{6}$

Since the numerator is larger than the denominator, we know our answer will be greater than 1.

$\frac{8}{6} \rightarrow 1\tfrac{2}{6}$

6 divides into 8 one time, with 2 remaining. The 2 remains on top of the 6 as the numerator. This answer can still be reduced; however, as 2 and 6 are both evenly divisible by 2.

$1\tfrac{2}{6}\rightarrow1\tfrac{1}{3}$

Your final answer is $1\tfrac{1}{3}$

Example Question #1162 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

One Australian dollar is equal to about 86 cents. To the nearest whole, for how many Australian dollars can a tourist to Australia expect to exchange $600 in American money?

Possible Answers:

698

516

5,160

Correct answer:

698

Explanation:

One Australian dollar is equivalent to 86 cents, or $0.86, in American money, so divide $600 dollars by this conversion factor. $600 is equivalent to

$600 \div 0.86 \approx 698$ Australian dollars.

Possible Answers:

$\small \frac{6}{5}$

$\frac{5}{6}$

$\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{7}{49}\div \frac{2}{14}=$

Possible Answers:

196

$\frac{2}{94}$

$1\frac{3}{4}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Change division to multiplication by flipping the second fraction. Then, simplify and perform the multiplication.

$\frac{7}{49}\div \frac{2}{14}=$

$\frac{7}{49}\times \frac{14}{2}= \frac{1}{7}\times \frac{7}{1}=\frac{7}{7}=1$

The answer is 1.

Example Question #1424 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

$12 \frac{4}{6} \div 4\frac{2}{4}=$

Possible Answers:

$2\frac{22}{27}$

$3\frac{1}{3}$

$2\frac{20}{27}$

$1\frac{2}{3}$

$2\frac{7}{9}$

Correct answer:

$2\frac{22}{27}$

Explanation:

First convert each fraction into an improper fraction.

$\frac{76}{6}\div \frac{18}{4}=$

Then flip the second fraction, reduce and multiply:

$\frac{76}{6}\ast \frac{4}{18}=$

The answer is $2\frac{22}{27}$ .

Example Question #1425 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Divide:

$\frac{4}{9}\div \frac{2}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{}9$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{1}{}3$

$\frac{7}{}9$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The first step in dividing fractions is to make the second fraction a reciprocal (flip it) and then rewrite the problem as a multiplication problem: $\left(\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{3}{2}\right)$ .

You can cross-reduce so that the problem now becomes $\left(\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{1}\right)$ . Then, mulitply straight across so that your answer is $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Example Question #1426 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

What is the below expression equal to?

$\frac{3}{5}\div \frac{2}{7}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{21}{10}$

$\frac{10}{21}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{21}{10}$

Explanation:

When one fraction is being divided by another, the latter fraction must be inverted. The numerators are then multiplied by each other, and the denominators are also multiplied by each other.

$\frac{3}{5}\div \frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{3}{5}\cdot \frac{7}{2}=\frac{21}{10}$
