#1. Interesting. 1/5 of 60 is 12. So I'd be interested to know how you figure a 2/5 increase is only $9.

#2. Interesting.
4 days at $40/day would only be $160, and she paid less than that.
12.5 cents is about 10% of 380 or about $40
So, an estimate would be about $200. How did you get more than twice that?
you want
4*38.15 + .125*380.5 = 200.16

#3. I don't see any good answers.
If you have 6/9, how does dividing 6 into 9 help you?
The other answers are equally useless. And I have no idea what the observation method even is.

#4. Interesting.
After saving $50K from $210K, the remainder is $160K. How do you get $10K as being 3/4 of that?

#5. ok
#6. ok
#7. ok

#8. Interesting. You reduced the price by $500. How is that ?1/5 of 1500?

#9. Interesting.
n/8 = 52
461 is odd, so how can it be a multiple of 8?

1. C

2. C
4. B
8. B

are you just guessing here? I'm especially intrigued at #2, since I gave you the answer!

It would have helped had you actually shown your work. Then I might have been able to show you where you went wrong.

1. To find out how much the fans paid during the World Series, we need to calculate the increased price.

To do this, we first need to find 2/5 of $60.
2/5 x $60 = ($2 x $60) / 5
= $120 / 5
= $24

Therefore, the price increased by $24.

Now, to find the total price paid by the fans during the World Series, we add the original price and the increase:
$60 + $24 = $84

So the correct answer is B. $84.

2. To calculate how much Abby owes the rental company, we need to consider the rental cost per day and the distance she traveled.

The rental cost per day is $38.15. She rented for four days, so the total rental cost for the days is:
$38.15 x 4 = $152.60

Next, we need to calculate the cost based on the mileage. Abby drove 380.5 miles, and the cost per mile is 12 1/2 cents, which is equivalent to $0.125.
380.5 x $0.125 = $47.56

Finally, we add the two costs together:
$152.60 + $47.56 = $200.16

So the correct answer is B. $200.16.

3. The first task in using the step approach to finding the greatest common divisor is to divide the larger number into the smaller number.

So the correct answer is B. Divide the larger number into the small number.

4. Al Ray and Marci Dana received a total of $210,000. They put $50,000 in a trust for their child, so the remaining amount is $210,000 - $50,000 = $160,000.

Al receives 3/4 of the remainder, which is calculated by multiplying $160,000 by 3/4:
($160,000 x 3) / 4 = $480,000 / 4 = $120,000

So the correct answer is C. $120,000.

5. To calculate the total number of hours Joe worked for the week, we need to add the hours worked on each day:

8 hours + 4 1/4 hours + 6 1/8 hours + 7 1/4 hours + 8 1/8 hours

First, we convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions:
4 1/4 = 17/4
6 1/8 = 49/8
7 1/4 = 29/4
8 1/8 = 65/8

Now, we add the times together:
8 + 17/4 + 49/8 + 29/4 + 65/8

To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.

8 becomes 32/8, 17/4 becomes 34/8, 49/8 stays the same, 29/4 becomes 58/8, and 65/8 stays the same.

Adding the fractions together:
32/8 + 34/8 + 49/8 + 58/8 + 65/8 = 238/8 = 29 3/4

So the correct answer is C. 33 3/4.

6. To calculate the profit made by Ace Landscape, we need to calculate the total revenue and subtract the total cost.

The total revenue is the selling price multiplied by the number of shovels sold:
$29.99 x 100 = $2,999

The total cost is the buying price multiplied by the number of shovels bought:
$15 x 100 = $1,500

To find the profit, we subtract the total cost from the total revenue:
$2,999 - $1,500 = $1,499

So the correct answer is A. $1,499.

7. To calculate the number of pounds of pumpkins Jim purchased, we need to divide the total money spent by the price per pound.

Jim spent $73.50, and the price per pound is $0.49.
$73.50 / $0.49 = 150

So the correct answer is C. 150 pounds.

8. To find the price of the Panasonic 3D flat television today after a decrease of 1/5, we need to calculate 4/5 of the original price.

The original price was $1,500, so we multiply it by 4/5:
$1,500 x 4/5 = ($1,500 x 4) / 5 = $6,000 / 5 = $1,200

So the correct answer is A. $1,200.

9. To find the value of N in the equation n/8 + 6 = 58, we first need to isolate n on one side of the equation.

Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation, we get:
n/8 = 58 - 6
n/8 = 52

To solve for n, we multiply both sides by 8:
8 * (n/8) = 8 * 52
n = 416

So the correct answer is D. 416.
