    • A.

      1/3

    • B.

      3/5

    • E.

      2/6

    Correct Answer
    B. 3/5
    Explanation
    The fraction 3/5 is greater than 1/2 because when comparing fractions, we can cross-multiply. When we cross-multiply 1/2 and 3/5, we get 5/10 and 6/10 respectively. Since 6/10 is greater than 5/10, 3/5 is greater than 1/2.

    • D.

      2/3 and 1/3

    Correct Answer
    B. 4/3 and 8/6
    Explanation
    The fractions 4/3 and 8/6 are equivalent because when you simplify 8/6 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (2), you get 4/3.
    8/6 ÷ 2/2 = 4/3

  • 4. 

    5/2 ÷ 3/4 =

    • A.

      10/3

    • B.

      10/8

    • C.

      13/4

    • D.

      1

    Correct Answer
    D. 1
    Explanation
    When dividing fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, we have (5/2) ÷ (3/4), which is the same as (5/2) * (4/3). Multiplying the numerators (5 * 4) gives us 20, and multiplying the denominators (2 * 3) gives us 6. Therefore, the result is 20/6, which simplifies to 10/3. However, the given answer is 1, which is incorrect.

    5 ÷ 1/7 =

    • A.

      5/7

    • B.

      6/7

    • C.

      1/35

    • D.

      35

    Correct Answer
    D. 35
    Explanation
    When dividing a number by a fraction, we can multiply the number by the reciprocal of the fraction to obtain the result. In this case, we divide 5 by 1/7, which is the same as multiplying 5 by 7/1. Multiplying 5 by 7 gives us 35, so the correct answer is 35.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    2/5 x 3/7 =

    • A.

      14/15

    • B.

      6/35

    • C.

      35/6

    • D.

      15/14

    Correct Answer
    D. 15/14
    Explanation
    To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. In this case, multiplying 2/5 by 3/7 gives us (2 x 3) / (5 x 7), which simplifies to 6/35. Therefore, the correct answer is 6/35.

    Rate this question:

    • D.

      1/4

    Correct Answer
    D. 1/4
    Explanation
    In order for the equation "a + 1 3/4 = 2" to be true, the value of "a" must be equal to 1/4.

    • C.

      1/3

    • D.

      6

    Correct Answer
    D. 6
    Explanation
    The given question asks to write 2 1/3 as a fraction. To do this, we need to convert the mixed number 2 1/3 into an improper fraction. To convert the whole number 2 into a fraction, we multiply it by the denominator of the fraction, which is 3. This gives us 6/3. Adding the numerator 1 to this fraction, we get 7/3. Therefore, 2 1/3 can be written as the fraction 7/3.

    • D.

      3 7/8

    Correct Answer
    D. 3 7/8
    Explanation
    To convert a fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 31 divided by 8 equals 3 with a remainder of 7. Therefore, the mixed number is 3 7/8.

    Rate this question:

    • C.

      2 2/3

    • D.

      2

    Correct Answer
    D. 2
    Explanation
    To write 2/3 of 4 as a mixed number, we need to find two-thirds of 4. Two-thirds of 4 is equal to 8/3. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. Since 8/3 is greater than 2, we can write it as a mixed number. The whole number is 2, and the fraction is 2/3. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 2/3.
