Simplify \( \frac{32}{64} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{5}{9} \)
\( \frac{2}{3} \)
\( \frac{4}{7} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 64 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] making 32 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{64} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{32}}{\frac{64}{32}} \) = \( \frac{1}{2} \)


3

Convert x-5 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-5}{-x} \)
\( \frac{-5}{x} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^5} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^{-5}} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


4

What is the greatest common factor of 36 and 48?

77% Answer Correctly
12
19
32
15

Solution

The factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36] and the factors of 48 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12] making 12 the greatest factor 36 and 48 have in common.


5

What is \( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{45}\)
\(\frac{1}{14}\)
2\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{56}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \)

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

\( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \) = \( \frac{2 x 6}{5 x 1} \) = \( \frac{12}{5} \) = 2\(\frac{2}{5}\)
