    What fraction is represented by the shaded portion of this pie? - ProProfs

    What fraction is represented by the shaded portion of this pie?

    • 1/2

    • 6/8

    • 5/8

    Correct Answer
    A. 5/8
    Explanation
    The shaded portion of the pie represents 5/8 of the whole pie.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following fractions is closest to one whole?

    • 4/8

    • 7/12

    • 3/4

    Correct Answer
    A. 3/4
    Explanation
    To determine which fraction is closest to one whole, we need to compare the denominators. The fraction 3/4 has the largest denominator among the given options, which means it is divided into smaller parts compared to the other fractions. Therefore, 3/4 is the closest to one whole, as it is divided into fewer parts and is closer to the value of 1.

    Mary bought a container of mixed nuts from the grocery store.  The nutrition label claims that the container has 100 nuts and that 2/5 of the nuts are pecans.  How many nuts are pecans?

    • 20

    • 40

    • 60

    Correct Answer
    A. 40
    Explanation
    The nutrition label states that 2/5 of the nuts in the container are pecans. To find the number of pecans, we need to calculate 2/5 of the total number of nuts. Since there are 100 nuts in total, we can multiply 100 by 2/5 to find the number of pecans. Simplifying the fraction, 2/5 is equal to 40/100. Therefore, 40 nuts in the container are pecans.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    1/2 + 3/4 = ______

    • One and one-half

    • One and one-fourth

    • Four-sixths

    Correct Answer
    A. One and one-fourth
    Explanation
    The given question asks for the sum of 1/2 and 3/4. To find the sum, we need to have a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4. Converting 1/2 to have a denominator of 4, we get 2/4. Adding 2/4 and 3/4 gives us a total of 5/4. In mixed number form, 5/4 is equal to one and one-fourth.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    5/4 - 2/3 =

    • 3

    • 7/12

    • 15/12

    Correct Answer
    A. 7/12
    Explanation
    To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12. We then convert 5/4 and 2/3 into fractions with a denominator of 12. 5/4 becomes 15/12 (by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3) and 2/3 becomes 8/12 (by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 4). Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can subtract them. 15/12 - 8/12 equals 7/12. Therefore, the correct answer is 7/12.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following is a TRUE statement?

    • 2/3 is less than 3/4

    • 3/4 is less than 2/3

    • 1/2 is greater than 7/8

    Correct Answer
    A. 2/3 is less than 3/4
    Explanation
    The statement "2/3 is less than 3/4" is true because when comparing fractions, if the numerator of one fraction is smaller than the numerator of another fraction, and the denominators are the same, then the fraction with the smaller numerator is smaller. In this case, both fractions have the same denominator of 4, but the numerator of 2/3 (2) is smaller than the numerator of 3/4 (3), indicating that 2/3 is indeed less than 3/4.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which fraction shows 8/24 written in lowest terms?

    • 1/3

    • 4/12

    • 2/6

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/3
    Explanation
    To find the fraction 8/24 in lowest terms, we need to simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. The greatest common divisor of 8 and 24 is 8. Dividing both numerator and denominator by 8 gives us 1/3. Therefore, 1/3 is the fraction that shows 8/24 written in lowest terms.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which fraction is the greatest?

    • 7/6

    • 9/8

    • 13/12

    Correct Answer
    A. 7/6
    Explanation
    The fraction 7/6 is the greatest because when comparing fractions, we look at the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom). In this case, the numerator of 7/6 is larger than the numerators of 9/8 and 13/12, while the denominator of 7/6 is the same as the denominator of 13/12 and larger than the denominator of 9/8. Therefore, 7/6 is the greatest fraction among the given options.

    John's family ordered pizza last night. John ate half of the pizza.  John's sister ate 2/3 of the remaining pizza. How much of the whole pizza did John's sister eat?

    • 2/3

    • 1/3

    • 3/5

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/3
    Explanation
    John ate half of the pizza, leaving the other half. John's sister then ate 2/3 of the remaining pizza. Since there was only half of the pizza left after John ate, 2/3 of that remaining half would be 1/3 of the whole pizza. Therefore, John's sister ate 1/3 of the whole pizza.

    What fraction of the pie is represented by the largest piece? - ProProfs

    What fraction of the pie is represented by the largest piece?

    • 2/5

    • 1/3

    • 1/5

    A. 1/3
    Explanation
    The largest piece of the pie represents one-third of the whole pie.

    Zax has a candy bar that is 16 and a half inches long.  He wants to equally split it among himself and 4 friends.  How long will each piece of candy be?

    • 3 1/10 inches

    • 4 inches

    • 64 inches

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 1/10 inches
    Explanation
    Zax has a candy bar that is 16 and a half inches long. To equally split it among himself and 4 friends, he needs to divide the length of the candy bar by the total number of people (Zax + 4 friends). Therefore, the length of each piece of candy will be 16.5 divided by 5, which equals 3 1/10 inches.
