Q: An equivalent fraction to $5/16$ is ______________. ANSWER: $10/32$
✔✔
Calculation: To find an equivalent fraction, you multiply or divide both the
numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) by the same non-zero number. In
this case, $5 \times 2 = 10$ and $16 \times 2 = 32$.
Q: 1 ounce is equal to $28.35$ grams. Convert $16$ ounces to grams. Round
your answer to the nearest tenth. ANSWER: $453.6$ grams ✔✔
Calculation: $16 \times 28.35 = 453.6$.
Fun Fact: Since there are $16$ ounces in a pound, this is also the conversion rate
for one pound to grams.
Q: What does a square have in common with a rectangle? ANSWER: All four
corners are $90^{\circ}$ angles. ✔✔
Geometry Note: Both shapes are quadrilaterals (four-sided) and parallelograms
(opposite sides are parallel). While a square is a special type of rectangle where all
sides are equal, the defining shared trait is the "right angle" at every corner.
Q: When a number is stated as a percentage, it means that number represents
a portion of ______. ANSWER: $100$ ✔✔
Concept: The word "percent" literally comes from the Latin per centum, meaning
"by the hundred." It allows us to compare different ratios on a standardized scale
of $0$ to $100$.
