1

What is \( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{4}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{25}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{2}{15}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{4}{6} \) = \( \frac{3 x 4}{9 x 6} \) = \( \frac{12}{54} \) = \(\frac{2}{9}\)


2

A bread recipe calls for 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (1\(\frac{7}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{15}{8} \) - \( \frac{14}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{1}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

What is \( \frac{3}{6} \) + \( \frac{2}{12} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
2 \( \frac{4}{12} \)
1 \( \frac{2}{12} \)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\( \frac{3}{12} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 6 and 12 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 2}{6 x 2} \) + \( \frac{2 x 1}{12 x 1} \)

\( \frac{6}{12} \) + \( \frac{2}{12} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{6 + 2}{12} \) = \( \frac{8}{12} \) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
