What is the value of (1)/(2) + (1)/(3) × (3)/(4)?
- a) (7)/(12)
- b) (1)/(2)
- c) (5)/(12)
- d) (3)/(4)
Solution:
Apply the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
Multiplication comes before addition.
(1)/(3) × (3)/(4) = (1 × 3)/(3 × 4) = (3)/(12) = (1)/(4)Now perform the addition.
(1)/(2) + (1)/(4)Find a common denominator, which is 4.
(2)/(4) + (1)/(4) = (3)/(4) **Answer: d) (3)/(4)**2. Calculate: 2(1)/(3) - (1)/(2) ÷ (3)/(4) * a) 1(1)/(6) * b) 2(1)/(3) * c) 1(1)/(2) * d) 1(1)/(3)
Solution:Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
2(1)/(3) = (2 × 3 + 1)/(3) = (7)/(3)Perform the division.
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
(1)/(2) ÷ (3)/(4) = (1)/(2) × (4)/(3) = (1 × 4)/(2 × 3) = (4)/(6) = (2)/(3)Perform the subtraction.
(7)/(3) - (2)/(3)Since the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators.
(7 - 2)/(3) = (5)/(3)Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number.
(5)/(3) = 1(2)/(3) **Answer: This answer is not listed in the options. Let me recheck.** *Recheck Step 2: (1)/(2) ÷ (3)/(4) = (1)/(2) * (4)/(3) = 4/6 = 2/3. Correct.* **Recheck Step 3: (7)/(3) - (2)/(3) = 5/3. Correct.** **Recheck Step 5: 5/3 = 1 and 2/3. Correct.** **It seems there might be an error in the provided options. Based on the calculation, the answer is 1(2)/(3).** **Let's assume option (a) was meant to be 1(2)/(3) for the purpose of demonstration.** **If we must choose from the options, let's re-evaluate.** **Option (a) is 1(1)/(6). Option (d) is 1(1)/(3).** **My calculated answer is 1(2)/(3).** *Let me assume there was a typo in the question and it was (1)/(2) * (3)/(4) instead of division.* *(1)/(2) * (3)/(4) = (3)/(8)* **(7)/(3) - (3)/(8) = (56 - 9)/(24) = (47)/(24) = 1(23)/(24). This is not close.** **Let me assume the question was (1)/(2) + (3)/(4) instead of division.** **(1)/(2) + (3)/(4) = (2)/(4) + (3)/(4) = (5)/(4) = 1(1)/(4). This is not close.** **Given the options, and my consistent calculation of 1(2)/(3), I suspect an error in the question's options.** **However, if forced to pick the closest or if there's a common mistake pattern, it's hard to say without more context.** **For the purpose of this exercise, I will state my calculated answer.** **Calculated Answer: 1(2)/(3)**3. Evaluate: [(1)/(4) + (1)/(2)] ÷ (3)/(8) * a) (1)/(2) * b) 2 * c) (3)/(4) * d) 1
Solution:Solve the expression inside the brackets first.
(1)/(4) + (1)/(2)Find a common denominator, which is 4.
(1)/(4) + (2)/(4) = (3)/(4)Now perform the division.
(3)/(4) ÷ (3)/(8)Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.
(3)/(4) × (8)/(3) = (3 × 8)/(4 × 3) = (24)/(12)Simplify the fraction.
(24)/(12) = 2 **Answer: b) 2**4. Find the value of (5)/(6) - [(1)/(3) + (1)/(4)] * a) (1)/(12) * b) (1)/(4) * c) (1)/(6) * d) (1)/(3)
Solution:Solve the expression inside the brackets first.
(1)/(3) + (1)/(4)Find a common denominator, which is 12.
(4)/(12) + (3)/(12) = (7)/(12)Perform the subtraction.
(5)/(6) - (7)/(12)Find a common denominator, which is 12.
(10)/(12) - (7)/(12) = (3)/(12)Simplify the fraction.
(3)/(12) = (1)/(4) **Answer: b) (1)/(4)**
