First,
out
. Now, we can take
12 3
3
13
13
of both expressions:
(1 2) 3 13
3
3

2. B
First perform the operation inside the
brackets and then multiply.
5 1 5 * 4 1* 7 13

. Now you can
7 4
28
28
6 13
multiply:
. Here cancel out 13
13 28
6 13 6
from both fractions:

. Reduce
13 28 28
the fraction the top and botton by 2:

1 7 3 9

Now solve: . The common

4 8 2 8
denominator is 8:
1* 2 7 3* 4 9 2 7 12 9
, which

8
8
12
4*3 3
1
equals
, or
1 , which in
8
4 *2 2
2
turn is 1.5.

4. D
The
common denominator is 4 and you
1 1
can cancel out as they equal 0. You

2 2
1 3 1* 2 3 1
1
have now:

,
2 4
4
4
4
which in turn equals -0.25

6. A
First perform actions inside the brackets
then multiply:
and
2 1 2 * 3 1* 7 1

.
7 3

multiply: ( )( )

21 3
21* 3 63
7. B
First divide the fractions, then add:
4
7 4 * 9 36 . When dividing fractions,
1 7 1 7
9
you multiply numerator by the inverted
denominator! Now simplify and add:
36
1 1

First perform multiplication and then
1 7 1* 7 7
subtract: *
.
3 2 3* 2 6
4
1 4 13 4 *13 52
*4 *
. Now
5
3 5 3
5 * 3 15
7 52
subtract . The common denominator

6 15
is 30:

7 52 7 * 5 52 * 2 35 104 69
.

6 15
30
30

-69/30 simplify the answer by reducing
nominator and denominator by 3:
69 3* 23 23

, which in turn equals

30 3*10 10
-2.3.

10. A
This problem can be solved as a fraction
exercise fairly fast, but the fastest way is to
convert to decimals:
0.5 + 0.4 + 0.7 - 2.25 + 6.75 = 1.6+4.5 =
6.1
