Reduce 
to lowest terms, call 
the sum of the numerator and the denominator. Which statement is true of 
?
Reduce
Add the numerator and the denominator: 
The correct response is therefore 
.
Add the numerator and the denominator:
The correct response is therefore

Reduce the fraction 
to lowest terms, and call 
the product of the numerator and the denominator of the simplified fraction. Give the value of 
.
Reduce the fraction
Multiply the numerator and the denominator: 
The product is a three-digit number.

Rewrite the mixed fraction 
as an improper fraction in lowest terms, and call 
the product of the numerator and the denominator of the simplified improper fraction. How many digits does 
have?
Rewrite the mixed fraction
, so 
simplifies to 
.
The numerator of the improper form of a mixed fraction is the original numerator added to the product of the integer and the original denominator. The new denominator is the same as the old one. Therefore,
Multiply the numerator and the denominator: 
,
a three-digit number.

Consider a fraction 
, where the numerator is unknown. How many of the following values of 
would yield a fraction not in lowest terms?
I) 
II) 
III) 
IV) 
Consider a fraction
I)
II)
III)
IV)
The prime factorization of 
is 
, so the fraction 
is reducible if and only if 
is a multiple of 5 or 13.
We can immediately tell that 115 is the only multiple of 5, so we test the other numbers to see if there is a multiple of 13. We soon see that
, so 116 and 118 cannot be multples of 13.
115 and 117 are the only values of 
that yield reducible fractions, so the correct response is two.
