Which fraction is greater: 3/4 or 2/3?
3/4
2/3
They are equal
None of the above
3/4 is greater than 2/3 because 3/4 equals 0.75 while 2/3 is approximately 0.667. This clear numerical comparison shows that 0.75 is larger than 0.667.
Arrange the following decimals in increasing order: 0.2, 0.15, 0.25.
0.15, 0.2, 0.25
0.2, 0.15, 0.25
0.25, 0.2, 0.15
0.15, 0.25, 0.2
When arranged from least to greatest, the smallest number is 0.15 followed by 0.2 and then 0.25. This option correctly sequences the decimals in increasing order.
What is the simplified form of the ratio 8:12?
2:3
3:4
4:6
1:3
Dividing both 8 and 12 by their greatest common factor, which is 4, simplifies the ratio to 2:3. This represents the simplest form of the given ratio.
Which number is greater: 5 or -3?
5
-3
They are equal
Cannot be determined
Positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers. Thus, 5 is definitely greater than -3.
Which fraction is equivalent to 4/8 when simplified?
1/2
2/4
3/4
1/4
Simplifying 4/8 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4 gives 1/2. This is the correct simplified equivalent of 4/8.
Which of the following fractions is the smallest: 5/6, 3/4, 4/5, or 7/8?
3/4
4/5
5/6
7/8
Converting the fractions to decimals, 3/4 equals 0.75, which is smaller than 4/5 (0.8), 5/6 (approximately 0.833), and 7/8 (0.875). Thus, 3/4 is the smallest fraction.
Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the ratio 36:48 in simplest form?
3:4
4:3
1:2
2:3
Dividing both numbers in the ratio 36:48 by 12 simplifies it to 3:4. This is the ratio in its most reduced form.
Which is greater: 0.375 or 3/8?
0.375
3/8
They are equal
Cannot be determined
Both 0.375 and 3/8 represent the same numerical value because 3 divided by 8 equals 0.375. Therefore, the two are equal.
Order the following fractions from least to greatest: 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5.
1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5
4/5, 3/4, 2/3, 1/2
1/2, 3/4, 2/3, 4/5
2/3, 1/2, 3/4, 4/5
By converting the fractions to decimals or by using common denominators, the correct order from least to greatest is 1/2, then 2/3, followed by 3/4, and finally 4/5. This option reflects that increasing order accurately.
If 15 students are evenly divided into groups with the same number of students in each group, which group size is not possible?
2
3
5
15
The number 15 can be evenly divided by 1, 3, 5, and 15. Since 2 is not a divisor of 15, forming groups of 2 students is not possible.
Which equation represents the statement 'seven is to fourteen as x is to twenty-eight'?
x = 14
x = 7
x = 28
x = 56
The statement sets up the proportion 7/14 = x/28. Solving this proportion results in x = 14, which is the correct representation of the analogy.
Which of the following best compares the expressions: 3(x + 2) and 3x + 6?
They are equivalent
3(x + 2) is greater
3x + 6 is greater
They are not comparable
Using the distributive property, 3(x + 2) expands to 3x + 6, making the two expressions identical. Therefore, they are equivalent.
Which inequality correctly represents the fact that 1/3 is less than 1/2?
1/3 < 1/2
1/3 > 1/2
1/3 = 1/2
1/3 ≠ 1/2
Since 1/3 is approximately 0.333 and 1/2 is 0.5, the inequality 1/3 < 1/2 accurately reflects that 1/3 is less than 1/2.
If a number is increased by 20% and then decreased by 20%, which of the following is true about the final number?
It remains the same
It is greater than the original
It is less than the original
It cannot be determined
Increasing a number by 20% multiplies it by 1.2, and a subsequent 20% decrease multiplies it by 0.8, resulting in an overall factor of 0.96. This means the final number is 96% of the original, making it less.
Which operation on fractions correctly computes the sum of 1/4 and 1/3?
Find a common denominator, then add the numerators
Multiply the numerators and add the denominators
Add the numerators directly
Multiply both fractions
To add fractions such as 1/4 and 1/3, you must first convert them to have a common denominator before adding the numerators. This approach correctly computes the sum.
Solve the proportion: 2/5 = x/15. What is the value of x?
6
7
5
3
Cross-multiplying gives 2 × 15 = 5 × x, which simplifies to 30 = 5x. Dividing both sides by 5 results in x = 6, which is the correct answer.
Which comparison is true for the following expressions: 5x + 3 and 5(x + 1)?
5x + 3 is less than 5(x + 1)
5x + 3 is greater than 5(x + 1)
Both expressions are equal
It depends on the value of x
Expanding 5(x + 1) gives 5x + 5, which is consistently 2 greater than 5x + 3 regardless of x. Therefore, 5x + 3 is always less than 5(x + 1).
A student compares the areas of two similar rectangles where the ratio of their corresponding sides is 3:5. What is the ratio of their areas?
9:25
3:5
5:3
25:9
For similar figures, the ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. Squaring the ratio 3:5 gives 9:25, which is the correct area ratio.
If 40% of a number is equal to 30% of 60, what is the number?
45
40
30
50
Setting up the equation 0.4x = 0.3 × 60 gives 0.4x = 18. Dividing 18 by 0.4 yields x = 45, which is the correct solution.
Determine which of the following sets of numbers is arranged in ascending order: A) {√2, 1.5, 1.41, √3} or B) {1.41, √2, 1.5, √3}?
Set A
Set B
Both sets
Neither set
Approximating the values, √2 is about 1.414 and √3 is about 1.732. Set B arranges the numbers as 1.41, √2, 1.5, √3, which is in proper ascending order, unlike Set A.
