Answer:

(1) 40 is a common multiple of 6 and 10

False:

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42...

Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40...

(2) The fraction 5/6 is greater than 7/10

True:

Find common denominators. Note that what you multiply to the denominator, you multiply to the numerator.

(5/6) x (5/5) = 25/30

(7/10) x (3/3) = 21/30

25/30 > 21/30 ∴ 5/6 is greater than 7/10

(3) The fraction 42/60 is an equivalent form of 7/10

True:

Find a common denominator. Note that what you multiply to the denominator, you multiply to the numerator.

(7/10) x (6/6) = 42/10

42/10 = 42/10 ∴ 7/10 = 42/10

(4) The only value that can be used as a common denominator is 60.

False:

While 60 is a plausible denominator, there are other denominators that can be used. Remember that what you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator.

(5) Ten is a multiple of 6.

False:

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30...
