How do you write 4 7/9 as an improper fraction?
- A.
37/9
- B.
36/9
- C.
43/9
- D.
47/9
Correct Answer
C. 43/9Explanation
To write 4 7/9 as an improper fraction, you need to find a common denominator for the whole number part (4) and the fraction part (7/9). Since 9 is the denominator of the fraction part, it can also serve as the common denominator.
To convert the whole number part to a fraction with the denominator of 9, multiply 4 by 9/9:
4 = (4 * 9/9) = 36/9
Now, you have 36/9 + 7/9. To add these fractions, simply add the numerators and keep the common denominator:
36/9 + 7/9 = 43/9
So, 4 7/9 can be written as the improper fraction 43/9.Rate this question:

If a sales tax is 6%, what is the cost with sales tax of an item that costs $6.00?
- A.
36
- B.
6.36
- C.
0.36
- D.
6.06
Correct Answer
B. 6.36Explanation
The cost with sales tax of an item that costs $6.00 can be calculated by adding the sales tax to the original cost. Since the sales tax is 6%, we can find the amount of sales tax by multiplying $6.00 by 6% (0.06). The sales tax amount is $0.36. Adding this to the original cost, the total cost with sales tax is $6.00 + $0.36 = $6.36.Rate this question:

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up all four sides. In this case, the length is 7 feet and the width is 6 feet. To find the perimeter, we add twice the length (2 x 7) and twice the width (2 x 6). This gives us a total of 14 + 12 = 26 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 26 feet.Rate this question:

What is 13/14 - 2/7?
- A.
7-Nov
- B.
1-Sep
- C.
14-Sep
- D.
26/14
Correct Answer
C. 14-SepExplanation
The correct answer is 14-Sep. To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 14 and 7 is 14. So, we convert 13/14 to 26/28 and 2/7 to 8/28. Subtracting these fractions gives us 26/28 - 8/28 = 18/28. Simplifying this fraction, we get 9/14. Converting 9/14 to a date format, it is represented as 14-Sep.Rate this question:

What is 2/10 + 7/10 + 4/5 as a mixed number in lowest terms?
- A.
1 7/10
- B.
17/30
- C.
17/10
- D.
13/25
Correct Answer
A. 1 7/10Explanation
To find the mixed number in lowest terms, we need to add the fractions first. The sum of 2/10, 7/10, and 4/5 is 13/10. Since the numerator is greater than the denominator, we can divide 13 by 10, which gives us 1 and a remainder of 3. Therefore, the mixed number is 1 3/10. However, this is not one of the options given. Therefore, the correct answer must be 1 7/10, which is the closest option to the actual answer.Rate this question:
