Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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.

April scored 95% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 300 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
95
98
90
81

Solution

April scored 95% on the test meaning she earned 95% of the possible points on the test. There were 300 possible points on the test so she earned 300 x 0.95 = 285 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{285}{3} \) = 95 questions right.
