What is 2/3 + 1/6?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 5/6.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Rewrite 2/3 as 4/6, then add 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Rewrite 2/3 as 4/6, then add 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is 7/8 − 1/4?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 5/8.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Rewrite 1/4 as 2/8, then 7/8 − 2/8 = 5/8.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Rewrite 1/4 as 2/8, then 7/8 − 2/8 = 5/8.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is 3/5 × 2?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 6/5.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
