Answer Key
1. B. 3/4 × 2/3 = 6/12 = 1/2
2. A. 2 1/2 = 5/2, then 5/2 × 1/2 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
3. B. 5/6 × 4 = 20/6 = 10/3
4. A. 1 1/2 = 3/2, then 3/2 × 2/3 = 6/6 = 1
5. A. 3 1/2 = 7/2, then 7/2 × 4/5 = 28/10 = 2 4/5
6. A. 7/8 ÷ 3 = 7/24
7. C. 6 2/3 = 20/3, then 20/3 × 3/4 = 60/12 = 5
8. A. 2/5 × 6 = 12/5
