Year 7 Maths Exam Revision- Term 2

1 and 1/2 × 2/3 =

• 2

• 1

• 3/6

• 5/6

Answer explanation

To solve 1 and 1/2 x 2/3, first convert 1 and 1/2 to an improper fraction: 3/2. Then multiply: (3/2) x (2/3) = 6/6 = 1. Thus, the correct answer is 1.

3/4 ÷ 2/5 =

• 5/6

• 5/8

• 6/9

• 1 and 7/8

Answer explanation

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal. So, 3/4 ÷ 2/5 = 3/4 × 5/2 = 15/8, which simplifies to 1 and 7/8. Thus, the correct answer is 1 and 7/8.

3/8 + 1/4 =

• 7/8

• 1/2

• 5/8

• 4/8

Answer explanation

To add 3/8 and 1/4, convert 1/4 to eighths: 1/4 = 2/8. Now, 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8. Thus, the correct answer is 5/8.

2/3 ÷ 4/5 =

• 5/12

• 2/5

• 8/15

• 5/6

Answer explanation

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal. Thus, 2/3 ÷ 4/5 = 2/3 × 5/4 = (2×5)/(3×4) = 10/12 = 5/6. The correct answer is 5/6.

3/4 × 2/5 =

• 5/20

• 6/9

• 3/10

• 1/2

Answer explanation

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and the denominators: (3 x 2) / (4 x 5) = 6 / 20. Simplifying 6/20 gives 3/10, which is the correct answer.

1 and 1/2 + 2/3 =

• 2 and 1/6

• 2 and 2/5

• 1 and 5/6

• 1 and 1/5

Answer explanation

To add 1 1/2 and 2/3, convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction: 3/2. Then find a common denominator (6) to add: (3/2)*(3/3) + (2/3)*(2/2) = 9/6 + 4/6 = 13/6 = 2 1/6. Thus, the correct answer is 2 and 1/6.

5/6 - 7/12 =

• 4/12

• 2/12

• 1/4

• 1/2

Answer explanation

To solve 5/6 - 7/12, convert 5/6 to 10/12. Then, 10/12 - 7/12 = 3/12. Simplifying 3/12 gives 1/4, which is the correct answer.

5/6 × 3/4 =

• 9/24

• 15/24

• 8/9

• 5/10

Answer explanation

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and the denominators: (5 x 3) / (6 x 4) = 15/24. Thus, the correct answer is 15/24.

7/10 × 2/3 =

• 1/4

• 7/15

• 5/13

• 14/20

Answer explanation

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and the denominators: (7 x 2) / (10 x 3) = 14 / 30. Simplifying 14/30 gives 7/15, which is the correct answer.

3/5 ÷ 1/3

• 1 and 2/3

• 1 and 4/5

• 3/5

• 2

Answer explanation

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal. So, 3/5 ÷ 1/3 = 3/5 × 3/1 = 9/5. Converting 9/5 to a mixed number gives 1 and 4/5, which is the correct answer.
