What is \( \frac{4}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{14}\)
2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{6} \) = \( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{6}{2} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{6}{2} \) = \( \frac{4 x 6}{9 x 2} \) = \( \frac{24}{18} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

5

In a class of 24 students, 9 are taking German and 14 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 4 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
11
5
19
24

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 9 + 14 = 23. Of that group of 23, 4 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 23 - 4 = 19 who are taking at least one language. 24 - 19 = 5 students who are not taking either language.
