    • 67/40
    • 201/121
    • 107/40

  2. A ribbon pieces are 9/10 yard and 2/8 yard. What is the difference in their lengths?

    • 53/80
    • 13/20
    • 51/80
    • 52/81

  3. Which first step helps solve 7/8 + 6/12?

    • find a common denominator
    • add the denominators
    • ignore the numerators

  4. Which expression matches this story: 7/10 pan of muffins was eaten before lunch and 11/12 pan after lunch?

    • the answer must be a whole number
    • both addends are less than 1
    • denominators always disappear
