To determine The evaluation of the given expressions. Explanation Given: i) 3 4 × 1 2 j) 2 3 × 3 5 k) 1 2 + 3 2 l) 2 3 + 1 6 m) 2 3 × 1 4 n) 1 4 + 3 8 o) 5 8 − 1 4 p) 3 2 × 2 3 Calculations: a) 3 4 × 1 2 To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately. Thus, we have, 3 4 × 1 2 = 3 × 1 4 × 2 = 3 8 b) 2 3 × 3 5 To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately. Thus, we have, 2 3 × 3 5 = 2 × 3 3 × 5 = 6 15 c) 1 2 + 3 2 If two fractions have the same denominator (a common denominator), we can add and subtract them by adding and subtracting their numerators. Thus, we have 1 2 + 3 2 = 1 + 3 2 = 4 2 = 2 d) 2 3 + 1 6 If two fractions do not have the same denominator, then we must rewrite the fractions with the same denominator before adding and subtracting. Thus, we have 2 3 + 1 6 = 4 6 + 1 6 = 5 6 e) 2 3 × 1 4 To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately. Sometimes we simplify fractions at the same time we multiply them by canceling terms that occur in both the numerator and denominator...
