2

What is \( \frac{4}{3} \) + \( \frac{2}{9} \)?

59% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
1\(\frac{5}{9}\)
2 \( \frac{2}{9} \)
1 \( \frac{3}{9} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45] making 9 the smallest multiple 3 and 9 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{4 x 3}{3 x 3} \) + \( \frac{2 x 1}{9 x 1} \)

\( \frac{12}{9} \) + \( \frac{2}{9} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{12 + 2}{9} \) = \( \frac{14}{9} \) = 1\(\frac{5}{9}\)

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 70 pounds of food in 5 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 154 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
3
8
6
4

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 70 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{70}{5} \) = 14 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 154 - 70 = 84 more pounds of food to reach 154 pounds total. At 14 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{84}{14} \) = 6 more days.


4

5

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 9 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
3%
2%
11%
6%

Solution

You have 9 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{9}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{9 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{900}{450} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.
