How do you write 3 ⅖ as an improper fraction?(1 point)
To write 3 ⅖ as an improper fraction, you need to convert the whole number and the fraction into a single fraction.

Starting with the whole number 3, you can write it as a fraction by placing it over 1, like this: 3/1.

Next, you need to convert the mixed fraction ⅖ into an improper fraction. To do this, you multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (5), and then add the numerator (4). This gives you: (2 × 5) + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14.

Therefore, the improper fraction is 14/5.

So, 3 ⅖ can be written as 14/5.

5/12
To multiply 5/12 by 2, you need to multiply the numerator (5) by 2, while keeping the denominator (12) the same.

5/12 * 2 = (5 * 2) / 12 = 10/12.

The fraction 10/12 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2.

Dividing both 10 and 12 by 2, we get:

10/2 = 5
12/2 = 6

So the simplest form of 10/12 is 5/6.

Therefore, the correct answer is 5/6.
Multiply 4/9 times 7. Write the answer as a mixed number.(1 point)
To multiply 4/9 by 7, you need to multiply the numerator (4) by 7, while keeping the denominator (9) the same.

4/9 * 7 = (4 * 7) / 9 = 28/9.

To write the result as a mixed number, you need to divide the numerator (28) by the denominator (9) and express the remainder as a fraction.

The quotient is 28 / 9 = 3 with a remainder of 1.

So, the mixed number is 3 1/9.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3 1/9.
Find the product of ⅔ and 5/9.(1 point)
To find the product of ⅔ and 5/9, you need to multiply the numerators (2 * 5) to get the numerator of the product, and multiply the denominators (3 * 9) to get the denominator of the product.

(2/3) * (5/9) = (2 * 5) / (3 * 9) = 10/27.

So, the product of ⅔ and 5/9 is 10/27.

Therefore, the correct answer is 10/27.
Multiply ⅘ times ⅝. Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)
To multiply ⅘ by ⅝, you multiply the numerators (4 * 5) and the denominators (5 * 8).

(4/5) * (5/8) = (4 * 5) / (5 * 8) = 20/40.

The fraction 20/40 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 20.

Dividing both 20 and 40 by 20, we get:

20/20 = 1
40/20 = 2

So the simplest form of 20/40 is 1/2.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1/2.
Multiply 1/9 by 4 ⅕. Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)
To multiply 1/9 by 4 ⅕, you first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

To convert 4 ⅕ into an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator (5) and then add the numerator (1). This gives you:

4 * 5 + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21.

So 4 ⅕ can be written as 21/5.

Next, you multiply 1/9 by 21/5.

(1/9) * (21/5) = (1 * 21) / (9 * 5) = 21/45.

To simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3.

Dividing both 21 and 45 by 3, we get:

21/3 = 7
45/3 = 15

So the simplest form of 21/45 is 7/15.

Therefore, the correct answer is 7/15.
Multiply ⅘ by 7 ⅓. Convert the product to be a mixed number.(1 point)
To multiply ⅘ by 7 ⅓, you need to convert both fractions into improper fractions.

To convert ⅘ into an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number (0) by the denominator (5) and then add the numerator (4). This gives you:

0 * 5 + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4.

So ⅘ can be written as 4/5.

To convert 7 ⅓ into an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number (7) by the denominator (3) and then add the numerator (1). This gives you:

7 * 3 + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22.

So 7 ⅓ can be written as 22/3.

Next, you multiply 4/5 by 22/3.

(4/5) * (22/3) = (4 * 22) / (5 * 3) = 88/15.

To convert this improper fraction into a mixed number, you divide the numerator (88) by the denominator (15) and express the remainder as a fraction.

Dividing 88 by 15, we get:

Quotient: 88 ÷ 15 = 5.
Remainder: 88 % 15 = 8.

So the mixed number is 5 8/15.

Therefore, the correct answer is 5 8/15.
What is the quotient of 8/9 ÷ 5? Simplify answer if needed.(1 point)
To find the quotient of 8/9 ÷ 5, you divide the numerator (8) by the denominator (9) and then divide the result by 5.

8/9 ÷ 5 = (8/9) / 5

To divide a fraction by a whole number, we can multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number.

Reciprocal of 5 is 1/5:

(8/9) * (1/5)

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (8 * 1) and the denominators (9 * 5):

(8 * 1) / (9 * 5) = 8/45

So the quotient of 8/9 ÷ 5 is 8/45.

Therefore, the correct answer is 8/45.

To find the fraction of teenagers who mainly exercise by walking, you need to multiply the fractions representing the proportions of teenagers who exercise regularly and who mainly walk for exercise.

First, multiply ⅔ by ⅘:

(2/3) * (4/5) = 8/15.

So, the fraction of teenagers who mainly exercise by walking is 8/15.

Therefore, the correct answer is 8/15.

To find the distance Clarissa traveled, you need to multiply her speed (12 1/2 miles per hour) by the time she cycled (2 1/2 hours).

To do this, first convert 12 1/2 into an improper fraction:

12 1/2 = (12 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 25/2.

Then, convert 2 1/2 into an improper fraction:

2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2.

Now, multiply the fractions:

(25/2) * (5/2) = (25 * 5) / (2 * 2) = 125/4.

The fraction 125/4 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 25.

Dividing 125 by 25, and 4 by 25, we get:

125/25 = 5
4/25 = 1/4

So, the distance Clarissa traveled is 5 1/4 (or 5.25) miles.

Therefore, the correct answer is 5 1/4 (31 1/4 can be seen as an incorrect option).

0. He doesn't have enough cord.
To find out how many bracelets Ayub can make, you need to divide the total length of cord he has (1 ½ feet) by the length of each bracelet (¼ foot).

First, convert 1 ½ into an improper fraction:

1 ½ = (1 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2.

Now, divide 3/2 by 1/4:

(3/2) ÷ (1/4) = (3/2) * (4/1) = (3 * 4) / (2 * 1) = 12/2 = 6.

Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets with the amount of cord he has.

So, the correct answer is 6 bracelets.
How many ¾ cup servings are in ⅔ cup of yogurt?(1 point)

½ cup of yogurt
½ cup of yogurt

4/7 cup of yogurt
4/7 cup of yogurt

8/9 cup of yogurt
8/9 cup of yogurt

1 cup of yogurt
To find the answer, you need to divide the given quantity of yogurt (2/3 cup) by the serving size of yogurt (3/4 cup).

Dividing fractions involves multiplying by the reciprocal, so:

(2/3 cup) ÷ (3/4 cup) = (2/3 cup) * (4/3 cup).

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:

(2 * 4) / (3 * 3) = 8/9.

Therefore, in 2/3 cup of yogurt, there are 8/9 cup servings.

So, the correct answer is 8/9 cup servings.
Question

32 scarves
To find out how many scarves Angela can crochet, you need to divide the total length of yarn she has (324 yards) by the length of yarn needed for each scarf (20 ¼ yards).

First, convert 20 ¼ into an improper fraction:

20 ¼ = (20 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 81/4.

Now, divide 324 yards by 81/4 yards:

324 yards ÷ (81/4 yards) = 324 yards * (4/81 yards).

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:

(324 * 4) / (81) = 1296/81 = 16.

Therefore, Angela can crochet 16 scarves with the amount of yarn she has.

So, the correct answer is 16 scarves.

To find out how many containers Kaylee can fill, you need to divide the total amount of sugar (4 cups) by the capacity of each container (1/3 cup).

To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal, so:

4 cups ÷ (1/3 cup) = 4 cups * (3/1 cup).

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:

(4 * 3) / 1 = 12/1 = 12.

Therefore, Kaylee will be able to fill 12 containers with the sugar she has.

So, the correct answer is 12 containers.

To find out how long 6 cups of dog food will last, we need to calculate the number of times Mrs. Ebert can feed her dog with 6 cups of dog food.

Each day, Mrs. Ebert feeds her dog 1/3 of a cup of dog food twice. So, in one day, she feeds her dog (1/3 cup + 1/3 cup) = 2/3 cup of dog food.

To find out how many days 6 cups of dog food will last, we need to divide 6 cups by the amount of dog food consumed per day, which is 2/3 cup.

6 cups ÷ (2/3 cup) = 6 cups × (3/2 cup).

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:

(6 × 3) / (2) = 18/2 = 9.

Therefore, 6 cups of dog food will last Mrs. Ebert's dog for 9 days.

So, the correct answer is 9 days.
