Yes. This is my second time taking this test. :/

Answer 4

Well if you have a number "to" another number, you will make a fraction with the first number on top. E.g. 5 to 4 = 5/4. What would the fraction be in this case?

Answer 5

120 to 80 _-_ 3 to 20?

Answer 6

120 to 80 would be what in fraction form?

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 120}{ 80}\]

Answer 8

Yep. So now we simplify. First thing we do is take rid of the zero's at the end of both of them. Now we have \[\frac{ 12 }{ 8 }\] Can you simplify from there?

Answer 9

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 10

You can simplify a bit further.

Answer 11

Actually wait

Answer 12

it should be \[\frac{ 6 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 13

Ohh yeah it should

Answer 14

But we can still go a step further.

Answer 15

Now its \[\frac{ 3 }{ }\]

Answer 16
