What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{9}{16}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{2}{21}\)
\(\frac{4}{9}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \) = \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \) = \( \frac{3 x 6}{8 x 4} \) = \( \frac{18}{32} \) = \(\frac{9}{16}\)


2

If a car travels 60 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
15 mph
65 mph
75 mph
40 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{60mi}{4h} \)
15 mph

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

associative

commutative

PEDMAS

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $25, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.75
$5.00
$10.00
$11.25

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $25 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$25 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1125}{100} \) = $11.25 on the second shirt.
