Question

Find the match: Match column a with column b (1) ¾/⅖ - A.1⅞, (2) 1 ¼/½ - B.1 41/64, (3) 3/⅔ - C.7½, (4) 4⅜/2⅔ - D.2½, (5) 12/1⅗ - E.4½.

Answer 1

To find the match, we need to match the fractions in column A with their corresponding mixed numbers in column B. By simplifying the fractions and comparing them with the options in column B, we can determine the correct matches. Therefore, the correct matches are: (1) - None, (2) - D, (3) - C, (4) - B, (5) - E.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the match, we need to match the fractions in column A with their corresponding mixed numbers in column B. Let's go through each option:

1. Option 1: ¾/⅖ can be simplified to 3/5. This does not match with any of the mixed numbers in column B.
2. Option 2: 1 ¼/½ can be simplified to 1 2/1 which is equivalent to 1 1/2. This matches with option D, which is 1½.
3. Option 3: 3/⅔ can be simplified to 4.5. This matches with option C, which is 4½.
4. Option 4: 4⅜/2⅔ can be simplified to 33/8 divided by 8/3 which is equal to 33/8 x 3/8 = 99/64. This matches with option B, which is 1 41/64.
5. Option 5: 12/1⅗ can be simplified to 60/4 divided by 8/5 which is equal to 60/4 x 5/8 = 300/32 = 9 12/32. This matches with option E, which is 9½.

Therefore, the correct matches are: (1) - None, (2) - D, (3) - C, (4) - B, (5) - E.
