Question 1 of 5

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 what fraction the fourth person pays, we first calculate the sum of fractions paid by the first three people: 1/5 + 1/3 + 1/12 = 12/60 + 20/60 + 5/60 = 37/60. The total bill is 1, so the fourth person pays 1 - 37/60 = 23/60. Therefore, the correct answer is C (47/60). Choice A (1/4) is incorrect as it does not consider the fractions paid by the first three people. Choice B (13/60) is incorrect as it is the sum of the fractions paid by the first three people, not what the fourth person pays. Choice D (1/4) is a duplicate of choice A and is also incorrect.

Question 2 of 5

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 what fraction the fourth person pays, we first calculate the sum of fractions paid by the first three people: 1/5 + 1/3 + 1/12 = 12/60 + 20/60 + 5/60 = 37/60. The total bill is 1, so the fourth person pays 1 - 37/60 = 23/60. Therefore, the correct answer is C (47/60). Choice A (1/4) is incorrect as it does not consider the fractions paid by the first three people. Choice B (13/60) is incorrect as it is the sum of the fractions paid by the first three people, not what the fourth person pays. Choice D (1/4) is a duplicate of choice A and is also incorrect.

Question 3 of 5

Shawna buys 5.0 gallons of paint. If she uses 2.5 gallons of it on the first day, how much does she have left?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find out how much paint Shawna has left, subtract the amount she used from the total amount she bought. 5.0 gallons - 2.5 gallons = 2.5 gallons left. So, the correct answer is B: 2.5 gallons. Choice A (2.0 gallons) is incorrect as it does not account for the amount used. Choice C (3.0 gallons) is incorrect as it overestimates the amount left. Choice D (1.5 gallons) is incorrect as it underestimates the amount left.

Question 4 of 5

Express as an improper fraction: 8 3/7

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To express 8 3/7 as an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (8) by the denominator of the fraction (7), then add the numerator (3) to get the numerator of the improper fraction. So, 8 * 7 + 3 = 59. The denominator remains the same, so the improper fraction is 59/7. Explanation of other choices: A: 11/7 - Incorrect. This is the sum of the whole number and fraction as a mixed number, not an improper fraction. B: 21/8 - Incorrect. This doesn't represent 8 3/7 as an improper fraction. C: 5/3 - Incorrect. This is a completely different fraction and does not represent 8 3/7.

Question 5 of 5

Express 18/5 as a reduced mixed number.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To express 18/5 as a reduced mixed number, divide 18 by 5. This gives you 3 whole numbers and a remainder of 3. So, the correct answer is 3 3/5. Choice B is incorrect because it doesn't simplify to a whole number and proper fraction. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct division of 18 by 5.
