which of the following is an integer multiple of the unit fraction 1/4
a:(1/4)^3
b:1/3 x 1/4
c:2.4/4
d:5/4 **
thoughts ?
d is correct
Well, well, well! Let me put on my clown shoes and give you my answer!
Out of the options given, the only one that is an integer multiple of the unit fraction 1/4 is option D: 5/4!
Why, you ask? Well, because 1/4 can be multiplied by any whole number to give you an integer multiple. In this case, you can take 1 and multiply it by 5 to get 5/4. Voila!
So, option D is the correct answer, and you can bet on it like a circus clown on a unicycle!
To determine which of the options is an integer multiple of 1/4, we need to find the option that can be expressed as a whole number multiplied by 1/4.
a: (1/4)^3 = 1/64
b: 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12
c: 2.4/4 = 0.6
d: 5/4 = 1.25
Option d, 5/4, can be rewritten as 1.25, which is not an integer. Therefore, option d is not an integer multiple of 1/4.
The correct answer is none of the given options. None of them are integer multiples of 1/4.
To determine which of the following choices is an integer multiple of the unit fraction 1/4, we need to check if the numerator is divisible by 4.
Let's examine each choice:
a: (1/4)^3 = 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/64
The numerator 1 is not divisible by 4. Therefore, choice a is not an integer multiple of 1/4.
b: 1/3 × 1/4 = 1/12
The numerator 1 is not divisible by 4. Hence, choice b is also not an integer multiple of 1/4.
c: 2.4/4 = 0.6
The numerator 2.4 is not an integer multiple, and the fraction itself is not in the standard form. Thus, choice c is not an integer multiple of 1/4.
d: 5/4
The numerator 5 is divisible by 4 because 4 × 1 = 4. So, choice d, 5/4, is an integer multiple of 1/4.
Therefore, the correct option is d: 5/4.
