Question

George has 1 third pan of brownies. He eats 1 fourth of them. The fraction of brownies George ate. is

  1. 1 over 7
  2. 1 fourth
  3. 1 third
  4. 1 over 12

hintHint:

In the question, the total amount of brownies is given, i.e., 1 third pan of brownies. It is also given that he ate 1 fourthof them. It is required to find the amount of brownie George ate. For that we simply need to multiply the total amount of brownies he had by the amount of brownies he ate.

The correct answer is: 1 over 12


Step by step solution:
Given,
George had 1 third pan of brownies.
The fraction that he ate = 1 fourth
Now, to find the fraction of brownies George had we need to multiply the fraction he ate by the total amount he had.
Therefore, the fraction of brownies George had = 1 fourth cross times 1 third equals 1 over 12
Thus, the correct option is option (d)

Multiply 2 over 6 cross times 3 over 5 .

In the question, another approach could be that we can reduce the first fraction 2 over 6 equals 1 third
Then we get, 1 third cross times 3 over 5. Here, the 3 in the denominator of the first fraction gets cut by the 3 in the numerator of the second fraction. Hence, we get the product as 1 fifth.
Thus, we get option (a) as the correct option.

Multiply 1 fifth cross times 2 over 10 .

In the question, another approach could be that we can reduce 2 over 10 into 1 fifth by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 which is the HCF of both the numerator and the denominator. Then we simply get 1 fifth cross times 1 fifthequals 1 over 25
Thus, the correct option is option (a)

3 over 7 cross times 7 over 3 =

In the question, another approach could be that we can cut both the threes and the sevens, i.e., 3 in the numerator of the first fraction and the 3 in the denominator of the second fraction and 7 in the denominator of the first fraction and 7 in the numerator of the second fraction.. That way we do not have to reduce the fraction later into its simplest form.
Hence, 3 over 7 cross times 7 over 3 equals 1
Thus, we get option (d) as the correct option.

Maria bought 3 pounds of ground beef for hamburgers. If the hamburger is sold for $4.19 a pound, calculate the money Maria spent.

Another approach to the question could be that we could add $4.19, i.e., the price per pound 3 (pounds of ground meat bought) times.
Thus, the total money spent by Maria = $4.19 +$4.19 + $4.19
= $ 12.57
Thus, option (a) is the correct option.

Taylor earns $8.50 per hour as an auto mechanic. The total money Taylor will earn if she works 4.5 hours on Friday is

Another approach to the question could be that add $8.50, i.e., the money she earns per hour 4.5 times to get the total money she earns.
Therefore, total money she earns on Friday = $8.50 + $8.50 + $8.50 + $8.50 + $(8.50/2)    [here er divide the last 8.50 by 2 because the number of hours she worked is 4.5, i.e., four and a half]
=$ 38.25
