If x, y, and z are integers with x≤y and y>z, which of the following could x, y, and z represent (respectively)? A ‾3, ‾2, ‾3 B. 3, 2, 3 C. 1, 2, 3 D. 3, 2, 1 Answer: A-x=‾3, y=‾2, z=‾3.‾3 is less than or equal to ‾2, and‾2 is greater than ‾3 2: The number ½ is a __________. A. Whole number B. Rational number C. Decimal D. Percentage Answer: B - ½ is a rational number. A fraction is a rational number in regards to a/b if a and b are both positive integers and b is not equal to 0. Whole numbers, mixed numbers, and decimals are also rational numbers. 3:Which of the following uses the doubling method of informal counting to solve the following:3+4= A. (1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) = 7 B. (3+4) + (3+4) - (3+4) = 7 C. 3+4 = (3+3) +1 = 6+1 = 7 D. 2+2+2+1=7 Answer: C -The doubling method would be 3 + 4 = (3 + 3) +1 = 6 + 1 = 7. Using the doubling method of informal counting involves taking apart a number so that it is the same number as the one being added to it and then adding the difference. It is a way to do mental math easily in one’s head. 4:Solve the following equation: 1 3/8 ÷ 2/3 = A. 1/3 B. 1 1/3 C. 33/16 D. 1 5/8 Answer: C- 1 3/8 ÷ 2/3 = 33/16. 1 3/8 is equal to 11/8. Multiply 11/8 by the reciprocal of 2/3 when dividing. By multiplying 11/8 by 3/2, you get 33/16. 5:Solve the following equation:3/6 + 2/5 + 1/3 = A. 70/64 B. 37/30
