What is 1/10 expressed as a percentage?

What is 0.9 expressed as a percentage?

What is 8/10 simplified to its lowest terms?

• 4/5

• 2/5

• 8/10

• 1/5

Answer explanation

To simplify 8/10 to its lowest terms, divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2. This results in 4/5, making it the correct choice.

Simplify the expression: 7y + 4x - 2y + 3x.

• 5y + 7x

• 9y + 7x

• 5y - x

• 10y + x

Answer explanation

Combine like terms by adding the coefficients of y and x separately: 7y - 2y = 5y, 4x + 3x = 7x. Therefore, the simplified expression is 5y + 7x.

What is the probability of rolling a 3 with an ordinary fair dice?

• 1/6

• 1/3

• 1/2

• 0

Answer explanation

The probability of rolling a 3 on a fair dice is 1/6 since there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and only one of them is a 3.
