About This Quiz

To decompose a fraction simply means to take it apart. The most basic way todecompose a fraction is to break into unit fractions, which is when the numerator (top number) is 1. We can see that 5/8 is the same as the unit fraction 1/8 five times.

    Which of the following is a scientist?

    • Albert Einstein

    • Ellen Poe

    • Aliko Dangote

    • Barack Obama

    Correct Answer
    A. Albert Einstein
    Explanation
    Albert Einstein is a scientist because he was a renowned physicist who made significant contributions to the field of physics, particularly with his theory of relativity. He is best known for his equation E=mc², which describes the relationship between energy and mass. Einstein's work revolutionized our understanding of the universe and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. His theories and discoveries continue to have a profound impact on scientific research and our understanding of the world.

    To decompose a fraction simply means to ....? - ProProfs

    To decompose a fraction simply means to ....?

    • To bring it together

    • Take it apart

    • Make it equal

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Take it apart
    Explanation
    To decompose a fraction means to break it down into its individual parts or components. In other words, it involves separating the numerator and denominator of the fraction to understand its underlying value. This process allows us to analyze and manipulate fractions more easily, such as simplifying them or performing mathematical operations. Therefore, the correct answer "take it apart" accurately reflects the concept of decomposing a fraction.

    The most basic way to decompose a fraction is to break into ....? - ProProfs

    The most basic way to decompose a fraction is to break into ....?

    • Unit fraction

    • Decimal

    • Numerator

    • Denominator

    Correct Answer
    A. Unit fraction
    Explanation
    The most basic way to decompose a fraction is to break it into a unit fraction. A unit fraction is a fraction with a numerator of 1 and a non-zero denominator. By breaking a fraction into unit fractions, we can express it as a sum of fractions where each fraction has a numerator of 1. This allows us to simplify and understand the fraction better.

    The most basic way to decompose a fraction is to break into unit fraction, which is when the numerator (top number) is ...?

    • 3

    • 1

    • 2

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The most basic way to decompose a fraction is to break it into unit fractions, which means the numerator (top number) is 1. This is because a unit fraction represents one part of a whole, so when we decompose a fraction, we break it down into multiple unit fractions to represent the same value. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

    We can see that 5/8 is the same as the unit fraction .....? - ProProfs

    We can see that 5/8 is the same as the unit fraction .....?

    • 2/8

    • 3/8

    • 1/8

    • 8/8

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/8
    Explanation
    We can see that 5/8 is the same as the unit fraction 1/8 because when we divide 5 by 8, the result is 0.625. Since the numerator is smaller than the denominator, it means that the fraction is less than 1 whole. Therefore, 5/8 is equivalent to 1/8.

    We can see that 5/8 is the same as the unit fraction 1/8 how many times? - ProProfs

    We can see that 5/8 is the same as the unit fraction 1/8 how many times?

    • Four times

    • Two times

    • Eight times

    • Five times

    Correct Answer
    A. Five times
    Explanation
    If we have a fraction 5/8, it means we have 5 parts out of 8 equal parts. To find out how many times the unit fraction 1/8 is present in 5/8, we divide 5 by 1/8. Dividing 5 by 1/8 is the same as multiplying 5 by the reciprocal of 1/8, which is 8/1. When we multiply 5 by 8/1, we get 40/1, which is equal to 40. So, the unit fraction 1/8 is present in 5/8 five times.

    Decomposing Fractions has nothing to do with the following

    • Making equal

    • Bringing together

    • None

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "none" because decomposing fractions refers to breaking down a fraction into its constituent parts, such as the numerator and denominator. It does not involve making fractions equal or bringing them together. Therefore, none of the options listed have any relation to decomposing fractions.
