Question 1 of 5

What is the value of the sum of 3/4 and 5/8?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the sum of fractions, they need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, 3/4 = 6/8. Adding 6/8 and 5/8 gives 11/8, which simplifies to 1 3/8. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 3/8, which corresponds to choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of 3/4 and 5/8.

Question 2 of 5

Divide 52 by 27 and 51 by 27 and simplify.

Question 4 of 5

Which operation should be completed first in the expression 8 + 5 * 3?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Multiplication.' In the expression 8 + 5 * 3, according to the order of operations (PEMDAS), multiplication should be done before addition. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). Therefore, the multiplication operation should be completed first, making 5 * 3 equal to 15, and then the addition operation should be conducted to get the final result of 8 + 15, which equals 23. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because in this expression, multiplication takes precedence over addition, division, and subtraction according to the order of operations.

Question 5 of 5

Express 3 5/7 as an improper fraction.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add the numerator. In this case, 3 * 7 + 5 = 21 + 5 = 26. So, 3 5/7 as an improper fraction is 26/7. Choice B (21/7) is incorrect because it represents the original fraction 3 5/7. Choice C (22/7) is incorrect and represents a different fraction. Choice D (26/5) is incorrect and does not reflect the proper conversion of the mixed number to an improper fraction.
