Four people split a bill. The first person pays 1/5, the second person pays 1/3, and the third person pays 1/12. What fraction of the bill does the fourth person pay?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the fourth person's share, subtract the fractions paid by the first three people from the total bill (1). The first person pays 1/5, the second person pays 1/3, and the third person pays 1/12. Adding these fractions gives 7/15. Subtracting this from 1 gives the fourth person's share as 8/15, which simplifies to 4/5. Therefore, the fourth person pays 4/5 of the bill. Option A (1/4) is incorrect because it does not consider the fractions paid by the first three people. Option B (13/60) is incorrect as it is not the remainder after subtracting the first three fractions from 1. Option D (1/4) is a duplicate of Option A and is also incorrect.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Irrational or rational.' When you multiply two irrational numbers, the result can be either irrational or rational. For example, multiplying the square root of 2 (√2) by itself results in the rational number 2. This shows that the product of two irrational numbers can lead to a rational result. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the product of two irrational numbers is not limited to being irrational; it can also be rational.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the fraction of blue shirts, subtract the fractions of green and red shirts from 1. Green shirts are 2/5 and red shirts are 1/3, which sum up to 11/15. Therefore, blue shirts would be 1 - 11/15 = 4/15. So, the correct answer is 4/15. Choice A (4/15) is incorrect as it represents the overall fraction of green shirts. Choice B (1/5) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions of green and red shirts. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it does not consider the given fractions of green and red shirts.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the remaining paint, subtract the amount used from the total gallons bought. 5.0 - 2.5 = 2.5 gallons. Therefore, Shawna has 2.5 gallons of paint left after using 2.5 gallons on the first day. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the amount of paint left after using 2.5 gallons.
