Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.

Solution

To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{36}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{5}{8}\)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{25}{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{5^2}}{\sqrt{6^2}} \)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
