Question 1

What is 12 ÷ 3?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

Division is a basic arithmetic operation that involves splitting a number into equal parts. When you divide 12 by 3, you are determining how many groups of 3 can be made from 12. The result is 4, because 3 multiplied by 4 equals 12.

Question 2

Which of the following is equivalent to 3/4 × 8/9?

Accepted Answer

2/3

Answer

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So, (3/4) × (8/9) = (3 × 8) / (4 × 9) = 24/36. This fraction can then be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 12, resulting in 2/3.

Question 3

What is the result of 25% of 200?

Accepted Answer

50

Answer

25% of 200 is calculated by multiplying 200 by 0.25 (since 25% = 0.25).
200 × 0.25 = 50.

Question 4

Solve for x: 5x = 25

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 5.
5x ÷ 5 = 25 ÷ 5, so x = 5.

Question 5

What is the value of 3/5 + 2/5?

Accepted Answer

1

Answer

When adding fractions with the same denominator, simply add the numerators.
3/5 + 2/5 = (3 + 2)/5 = 5/5 = 1.
