Example Questions

Example Question #21 : Grade 7

David walks $\frac{1}{8}$ of a mile in $\frac{1}{2}$ of an hour. If he continues this rate, what is David's speed in miles per hour $(\textup{mph})?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}\textup{ mph}$

$\frac{1}{4}\textup{ mph}$

$\frac{3}{4}\textup{ mph}$

$\frac{5}{8}\textup{ mph}$

$\frac{1}{5}\textup{ mph}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{4}\textup{ mph}$

Explanation:

The phrase "miles per hour" gives us a clue that we are going to divide. In this problem, we can replace the word "per" with a division sign; therefore, we will have miles, $\frac{1}{8}$ , divided by hours, $\frac{1}{2}$ :

$\frac{\ \frac{1}{8}\ \textup{miles}}{\ \frac{1}{2}\ \textup{hours}}$

Remember that when we divide fractions, we can simply multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator to solve.

$\frac{1}{2}\rightarrow \frac{2}{1}$

Therefore:

$\frac{1}{8}\times\frac{2}{1}=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

David can walk at a speed of:

$\frac{1}{4}\textup{ mph}$

Jenni drinks $\frac{1}{3}$ of a liter of water in $\frac{1}{2}$ of an hour. If she continues this rate, how many liters per hour does Jenni drink?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{3}\textup{ liters per hour}$

$\frac{3}{5}\textup{ liters per hour}$

$\frac{1}{5}\textup{ liters per hour}$

$\frac{2}{5}\textup{ liters per hour}$

$\frac{1}{3}\textup{ liters per hour}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{3}\textup{ liters per hour}$

Explanation:

The phrase "liters per hour" gives us a clue that we are going to divide. In this problem, we can replace the word "per" with a division sign; therefore, we will have liters, $\frac{1}{3}$ , divided by hours, $\frac{1}{2}$ :

$\frac{\ \frac{1}{3}\ \textup{liters}}{\ \frac{1}{2}\ \textup{hours}}$

Remember that when we divide fractions, we can simply multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator to solve.

$\frac{1}{2}\rightarrow \frac{2}{1}$

Therefore:

$\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{2}{1}=\frac{2}{3}$

Remember that when we divide fractions, we can simply multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator to solve.

$\frac{1}{2}\rightarrow \frac{2}{1}$

Therefore:

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{2}{1}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{3}\textup{ liters per hour}$

Explanation:

$\frac{\ \frac{1}{6}\ \textup{liters}}{\ \frac{1}{2}\ \textup{hours}}$

Remember that when we divide fractions, we can simply multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator to solve.

$\frac{1}{2}\rightarrow \frac{2}{1}$

Therefore:

$\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{2}{1}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
