Increase the following fraction by a factor of 8:
To solve this problem, we'll need to apply the concept of scaling a fraction by a given factor.
Therefore, increasing the fraction by a factor of 8, we multiply only the numerator by 8, retaining the denominator.
This would result in:
Matching allowed question outputs, choice , option 2 would verify an equivalent representation.
Without calculating, determine whether the quotient in the division exercise is less than 1 or not:
\( 5:6= \)
It means to multiply the fraction by 8! So becomes , which equals .
The question asks for a multiple choice answer! is mathematically correct, but is an equivalent form that matches one of the given options (both equal the same decimal value).
For scaling: multiply only the numerator. For equivalent fractions: multiply both numerator and denominator by the same number. The key is understanding what the question is asking for!
Yes! simplifies to when you divide both parts by 8. But wait - that's our original fraction, which shows this answer choice might have an error in the problem setup.
Always work through the problem step-by-step first, then compare your result to the choices. Sometimes test questions have errors, or you might need to express your answer in an equivalent form that matches an option.
