Card 0 of 5

Question

Solve for the variable:

Answer

In order to answer this question, you must isolate on one side of the equation.

(Subtract from both sides.)

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{16}{4}$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

If and , then $\frac{y}{z}$ is equal to:

Answer

If and , then when plugging the variables into the fractional form of $\frac{y}{z}$ , the result is $\frac{12}{3}$ , which is equal to 4, which is therefore the correct answer.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Solve for the variable:

Answer

In order to answer this question, you must isolate on one side of the equation.

(Subtract from both sides.)

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{9}{3}$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

If and , then $\frac{y}{x}$ is equal to:

Answer

If and , then when plugging the variables into the fractional form of:

$\frac{y}{x}=\frac{30}5$

$\frac{30}{5}=\frac{6}{1}=6$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Simpify the expression.

$\frac{24abcdefg}{24abcdefgh}$

Answer

To solve this problem you can cancel out like terms in the numerator and denominator. For example,

$\frac{24}{24}=1$

$\frac{a}{a}=1$

So,

$\frac{24\cdot a\cdot b\cdot c\cdot d\cdot e\cdot f\cdot g}{24\cdot a\cdot b\cdot c\cdot d\cdot e\cdot f\cdot g\cdot h}=\frac{1}{h}$

All the other terms cancel each other out because they are equal to one.
