Question 1 of 5
You need 4/5 cups of water for a recipe. You accidentally put 1/3 cups into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. How much more water in cups do you need to add?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find how much more water is needed, subtract 1/3 cup from 4/5 cup. First, find a common denominator: The least common denominator between 5 and 3 is 15. Convert the fractions: 4/5 = 12/15, 1/3 = 5/15. Now, subtract: 12/15 - 5/15 = 7/15. Therefore, you need to add 7/15 cups of water. Choice B (2/3 cups) is incorrect because it does not represent the correct amount of additional water needed. Choice C (1/3 cups) is incorrect because this is the amount of water that was accidentally added. Choice D (1/15 cups) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation of the additional water required.

Question 4 of 5
What is the result of adding 7/21 + 10/21?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When adding fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. In this case, 7/21 + 10/21 = 17/21. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (15/21) is incorrect because it adds the numerators incorrectly. Choice C (9/21) is incorrect as it does not reflect the sum of the fractions provided. Choice D (10/21) is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the two fractions.
