Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The family plans to spend 2/3 of the $3000 on gasoline and motel rooms. That would be (2/3) * $3000 = $2000.

Then, they plan to spend 1/4 of the remainder on meals. The remainder after spending $2000 would be $3000 - $2000 = $1000.
Therefore, they plan to spend (1/4) * $1000 = $250 on meals.
None of the given options match the answer.

Answer 6

Molly's family has $3,000 set aside for an upcoming vacation. The family plans to spend 3/5

of this amount on gasoline for the drive and motel rooms along the way and 1/2

of the remainder on meals. How much does Molly's family plan to spend on meals?
A.

$600
B.

$900
C.

$1,200
D.

$1,500

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The family plans to spend 3/5 * $3000 = $1800 on gasoline and motel rooms.

The remainder after spending $1800 would be $3000 - $1800 = $1200.
They plan to spend 1/2 * $1200 = $600 on meals.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. $600.

Answer 8

Rational numbers m and n are plotted on the number line below.

The number line showing numbers from -4 to 4 each divided into 4 segments has point n halfway between 0 and the first segment to the left of 0 and point m halfway between third and the fourth segment to the right of 0.

Based on the number line, which statement is true?
A.

The value of n-m is positive.
B.

The value of n+m is positive.
C.

The value of n+m is negative.
D.

The value of -(n-m) is negative.

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Based on the description, point n is located between -1 and 0 on the number line, while point m is located between 1 and 2 on the number line.

Since n is negative and m is positive, the value of n-m is negative.

Therefore, the correct statement is A. The value of n-m is positive.

Answer 10

To solve this calculation, we can follow the order of operations.

First, let's solve the multiplication: 1/2 * 4/3 = 4/6 = 2/3.

Next, let's solve the addition: 2/3 + 5/6 = 4/6 + 5/6 = 9/6 = 3/2.

Finally, let's solve the division: (3/2) / (7/8) = (3/2) * (8/7) = (24/14) = (12/7).

The result of the calculation is 12/7. However, none of the given options matches this answer.

Therefore, there seems to be an error in the calculation or the provided options.

Answer 14

1/2 *4/3 + 5/6 divided by 7/8

Answer 15

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve this calculation, we follow the order of operations.

First, let's solve the multiplication: 1/2 * 4/3 = 4/6 = 2/3.

Next, let's solve the addition: 2/3 + 5/6. To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 6 is 6, so we rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 6:

2/3 = 4/6
5/6 = 5/6

Now we can add: 4/6 + 5/6 = 9/6 = 3/2.

Finally, let's solve the division: (3/2) / (7/8). To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor:

(3/2) * (8/7) = 24/14

Now, we can simplify the fraction: 24/14 reduces to 12/7.

Therefore, the result of the calculation is 12/7.

The mixed number form of 12/7 is 1 5/7.

So, the correct answer is: 1 5/7.
