Simplify: 1/2 (16 ÷ 4 + 4) ÷ (6 × 4 ÷ 8)

41 answers

To solve this expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

First, we simplify the expressions inside the parentheses:

1/2 (16 ÷ 4 + 4) ÷ (6 × 4 ÷ 8)
= 1/2 (4 + 4) ÷ (6 × 4 ÷ 8)
= 1/2 (8) ÷ (6 × 4 ÷ 8)

Next, we simplify the division within the numerator and denominator:

1/2 (8) ÷ (6 × 4 ÷ 8)
= 1/2 (8) ÷ (24 ÷ 8)
= 1/2 (8) ÷ (3)
= 1/2 * 8/3
= 8/6

Finally, we simplify the fraction:

8/6 = 4/3

Therefore, 1/2 (16 ÷ 4 + 4) ÷ (6 × 4 ÷ 8) simplifies to 4/3.

B 170170
C 260260
D 305
To evaluate the expression 260 − (−45) − 45, we can simplify it step by step.

First, let's tackle the double negative.

260 − (−45) − 45
= 260 + 45 − 45

Next, let's add and subtract.

= (260 + 45) − 45
= 305 − 45
= 260

Therefore, 260 − (−45) − 45 equals 260.

To determine the equivalent expression to 13 + (34 + 23), we just need to simplify the expression by applying the rule of parentheses.

13 + (34 + 23) = 13 + 57

Now, if we evaluate 13 + 57, we get:

13 + 57 = 70

Therefore, the expression equivalent to 13 + (34 + 23) is D) 34 - 23 + 13.

Next, let's add.

186 + 72 = 258

Therefore, 186 − (−72) equals 258.

D 19/25
To find the equivalent fraction of the distance left in Rebecca's race, we need to convert the decimal 0.76 to a fraction.

0.76 can be written as 76/100. We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

76/100 = (76 ÷ 4) / (100 ÷ 4) = 19/25

Therefore, the fraction equivalent to the distance left in Rebecca's race is D) 19/25.

D 4/3
4 3
E 4/9
To find the fraction of students at Lamar High School who are girls in the choir, we can use the information provided.

Let's assume there are a total of 100 students at Lamar High School, for simplicity.

Given that 23 of the students are girls, and of those girls, 23 sing in the school choir, we can determine the fraction as follows:

Fraction of girls in choir = (girls in choir) / (total students)
Fraction of girls in choir = 23 / 100

To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1:

23 / 100 = 23/100

Therefore, the fraction of students at Lamar High School who are girls in the choir is equivalent to 23/100. However, none of the given answer choices (A, B, C, D, E) match this fraction.
Twenty-four pencils are in a package. The students use 3/8
of the pencils. How many did they use?
Responses
A 8 pencils
B 9 pencils
C 12 pencils
D 18 pencils
To find out how many pencils the students used out of the package containing 24 pencils, we need to multiply the total number of pencils by the fraction used, which is 3/8.

(3/8) * 24 = (3 * 24) / 8 = 72 / 8 = 9

Therefore, the students used 9 pencils. The correct answer is B) 9 pencils.
