Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 2 of 5

What is the result of adding 1/2 + 4/5?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10. So, 1/2 + 4/5 = 5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10 = 1 3/10. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1 3/10. Choice B, 1/2/2024, is incorrect as it does not represent the sum of the fractions given. Choice C, 1 2/5, is incorrect as it does not match the sum calculated. Choice D, 1 1/5, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct sum of the fractions provided.

Question 3 of 5

What is the result of the expression 4/5 + 6/7?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, you first need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator for 5 and 7 is 35. Then, convert each fraction to have a denominator of 35. 4/5 becomes 28/35, and 6/7 becomes 30/35. Adding these fractions together gives 58/35, which simplifies to 1 23/35. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 1 23/35. Choice B, 2 5/7, is incorrect because it does not match the correct result. Choice C, 1 1/7, is incorrect as it is not the simplified form of the sum of the fractions. Choice D, 1 3/4, is incorrect as it is a different result and not the sum of 4/5 and 6/7.

Question 4 of 5

What is the result of adding 5 2/9 and 1 2/9?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers with fractions, first add the whole numbers together: 5 + 1 = 6. Then add the fractions: 2/9 + 2/9 = 4/9. Combining the whole number and the fraction parts gives 6 4/9. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 4/9. Choice B (7 5/9) is incorrect as the fractions were not added correctly. Choice C (7) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions. Choice D (5 2/9) is one of the original numbers and not the sum of both.

Question 5 of 5

30 1/2 - 13 3/4 = ?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression 30 1/2 - 13 3/4, first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. 30 1/2 is equivalent to 61/2 and 13 3/4 is equivalent to 55/4. Subtracting 55/4 from 61/2 gives 16 3/4, which is the correct answer. Choice B (17) is incorrect as the correct answer is a mixed number, not a whole number. Choice C (15 1/4) is incorrect as it doesn't result from subtracting the given fractions. Choice D (15) is incorrect; the correct answer is greater than 15.
