Jams had10  of a pizza. He gave2  of it to his best friend Simon. What fraction of the whole pizza did Simon get?

Kevin needs 12  inches of string make a simple bow. She uses 10  times as much string to make ribbon wreaths. How much string does Kevin  use to make the wreaths?

Donald took 14  arrange his books in the bookshelf. He took 3  times more minutes to organize his closet. How much time did he take to organize the closet?

Paul worked on an assignment for 5  to hours on Saturday. She spent 1  times more time completing it on Sunday. How many hours did Paul devote to the assignment on Sunday?

Time spent on Saturday  = (5 x 10 + 1)/10= 51/10 hrs.
Time spent on Sunday= (2 x 1 + 1)/ 2 x 51 / 10 = 3/ 2 x 51 / 10= 153/20 = 7 13/20 hrs

As per the problem, LHS should be greater than RHS. This means that the fraction multiplier must be greater than 1. To do so, the numerator must be greater than the denominator. only 8 satisfies the condition. 8/7 >1 . hence , 8 is the answer.

If it takes one minute for a faucet to fill 2  gallons of water in a bucket, how much water can be filled in 4  minutes?

(2 x 2 +1)/ 2 gallons = 5/2 gallons can be filled in 1 minute.
In (4 x 4 + 3)/ 4 = 19/4 minutes, 19/4 x 5/2 gallons of water can be filled = 95/8= 11 7/8 gallons

As per the problem, LHS should be less than RHS. This means that the fraction multiplier must be less than 1. To do so, the numerator must be less than denominator. Options a and b  both satisfy the condition. Hence, answer is both a and b. 3/ 7 and 4/7 are less than 1.

7 is the required answer.
On substituting the options one by one, we find that
4/7 is less than 1
6/7 is less than 1
5/7 is less than 1
7/7 is equal to 1
Hence, 7/7 x 3= 3.

Steven's project on the greenhouse effect comprised 6  pages. Rebecca's study on this particular subject had 2  times as many pages as Steven's. How many pages did Rebecca write?

Number of pages of steven’s project = (6 x 5 + 3) / 5 = 33/5 pages.
Rebecca’s number of pages = (2 x 1 + 1) /2 times = 5/2 times = 5 / 2 x 33/ 5 = 33/ 2 pages = 16 ½ pages

5 is the required answer.
On substituting the options one by one, we find that
¾ is less than 1
1/4 is less than 1
5/4 is greater than 1
4/4 is equal to 1
Hence, 5/4 x 5 >  5.

3 is the required answer.
On substituting the options one by one, we find that
¾ is less than 1
4/4 is equal to 1
5/4 and 6/4 are greater than 1
Hence, ¾ x 5 < 5.

Let the unknown be y
y  x 5/4 = 5. On multiplying both side by 4/5, we get
y = 5 x 4/5 = 4. Hence, y=4

Which expressions are greater than .

1 ½ = 3/2 is greater than 1
5/8 , 9/11 are less than 1
3/3 is equal to 1
Hence, 3/7 x 1 ½ is greater than 1.

James finished writing his English homework in 5  minutes. Solomon took 2  times more time to complete the English homework than James. In how many minutes did Solomon finish his English homework ?

Time taken by james = (2 x 5 + 1 )/2 minutes. = 11/2 minutes.
Solomon takes ( ( 2 x 4 + 3)/ 4 ) times more minutes. = 11/ 4
Hence, Solomon took 11/2 x 11/4 = 121/ 8 minutes.= 15 1/8 minutes.

At the pottery class, Eric made a clay mug measuring 6  inches. She also made a flower pot, which was 2  times taller than the mug. How tall was the pot?

Height of clay mug = ((6x 6) +1)/2= 37/6 inch.
Given, pot was ((2 x 2)+ 1) / 2 times taller = 5/2 times. Hence, height of pot = 37/6 x 5/2 = 185/12 = 15 5/12 inch
