. Identify the numerator and denominator of the fraction
5/19.


5 is numerateor


19 is
denominator.


2. What fraction of the first twelve natural
numbers are prime numbers?


First 12 natural numbers are 1
t,2,3,...12.


The primes within 12 are 2,3,5,7,11 are the  5
primes.


So 5/12 are the fraction of primes within 12  first
natural numbers.


few
more.


 3. Find two factors of 6 whose sum is
5.


 3*2  = 6 and  3+2 = 5. So 2
factors.


4. Find the greatest common factor of 66 and
68.


66= 2*3*11 and 68 =2*2*17
.


 So 2 is the grearest common
factor.


4. The manufacturer of a certain machine claims
that the machine will produce 6 parts in 8 hours. At the end of a 40 hour work week in
which the machine was in use the entire 40 hours, a supervisor noted that the machine
had produced 30 parts. Does this production rate dispute the manufacturer's
claim?


 Yes.. The machine @ 6product per 8 hr, should
produce (6/8)40 = 30 and it did produce 30
products.


5. Simplify
-21/-66


6.Write the fraction  as an equivalent fraction
with a denominator of 36.



 4/9 = x/36. So x =
4*36/9 = 16


So 4/9 =
16/36


7. Multiply. Be sure to
give the answer in simplest form.


No questions to answer
under this number.
