Question 1.
Which of the following statements is correct?
(A) The product of \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{7}{8}\) is less than \(\frac{7}{8}\).
(B) The product of 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{9}{10}\) is less than \(\frac{9}{10}\).
(C) The product of \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{7}{8}\) is greater than \(\frac{7}{8}\).
(D) The product of \(\frac{7}{8}\) and \(\frac{9}{10}\) is greater than \(\frac{9}{10}\).
Answer:
(A) The product of \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{7}{8}\) is less than \(\frac{7}{8}\).

Explaination:
The correct answer is A. Really:
\(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{7}{8}\) = \(\frac{3 \times 7}{4 \times 8}\)
= \(\frac{21}{32}\)

And
\(\frac{7}{8}\) = \(\frac{7 \times 4}{8 \times 4}\)
= \(\frac{28}{32}\)

We can notice that:
\(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{7}{8}=\frac{21}{32}<\frac{28}{32}=\frac{7}{8}\)

Question 2.
Which shows the GCF of 18 and 24 with \(\frac{18}{24}\) in simplest form?
(A) GCF: 3; \(\frac{3}{4}\)
(B) GCF: 3; \(\frac{6}{8}\)
(C) GCF: 6; \(\frac{3}{4}\)
(D) GCF: 6; \(\frac{6}{8}\)
Answer:
(C) GCF: 6; \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Explaination:
GCF for 48 and 24 is 6, so, we have the following form of this fraction:
\(\frac{18}{24}=\frac{18 \div 6}{24 \div 6}=\frac{3}{4}\)
Conclusion is that correct answer is C.

Question 3.
A jar contains 133 pennies. A bigger jar contains 1\(\frac{2}{7}\) times as many pennies. What is the value of the pennies in the bigger jar?
(A) $ 1.49
(B) $ 1.52
(C) $ 1.68
(D) $ 1.71
Answer:
(D) $ 1.71

Explaination:
The value of pennies in the bigger jar is product of 133 and 1\(\frac{2}{7}\), so we have the following:
Texas Go Math Grade 6 Module 3 Quiz Answer Key 16
So, the value of pennies in the bigger jar is 171.
Conclusion is that correct answer is D.

Question 4.
Which of these is the same as \(\frac{3}{5}\) ÷ \(\frac{4}{7}\)?
(A) \(\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{7}{4}\)
(B) \(\frac{4}{7} \div \frac{3}{5}\)
(C) \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{4}{7}\)
(D) \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{7}{4}\)
Answer:
(D) \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{7}{4}\)

Explaination:
The first step at dividing two factors is to rewrite the problem as multiplication
Using the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Here, reciprocal of \(\frac{4}{7}\) is \(\frac{7}{4}\) and equivalent is expression \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{7}{4}\)
Conclusion is that correct answer is D.

Question 5.
What is the reciprocal of 3\(\frac{3}{7}\)?
(A) \(\frac{7}{24}\)
(B) \(\frac{3}{7}\)
(C) \(\frac{7}{3}\)
(D) \(\frac{24}{7}\)
Answer:
(A) \(\frac{7}{24}\)

Explaination:
First we will find mixed number as a fraction greater than 1:
3\(\frac{3}{7}\) = \(\frac{24}{7}\)
The reciprocal of \(\frac{24}{7}\) is \(\frac{7}{24}\). So, conclusion is that correct answer is A.

Question 6.
A rectangular patio has a length of 12\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet and an area of 103\(\frac{1}{8}\) square feet. What is the width of the patio?
(A) 4\(\frac{1}{8}\) feet
(B) 8\(\frac{1}{4}\) feet
(C) 16\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet
(D) 33 feet
Answer:
(B) 8\(\frac{1}{4}\) feet

Explaination:
The width of the patio we will dividing the area of patio, 103\(\frac{1}{8}\), by its length, 12\(\frac{1}{2}\)
So, we have the following:
Texas Go Math Grade 6 Module 3 Quiz Answer Key 17
So, the width of the patio is 8\(\frac{1}{4}\) feet. Correct answer is B.

Gridded Response

Question 7.
Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure 8\(\frac{1}{2}\) inches by 11 inches from a large sheet that has an area of 1,000 square inches. What is the area of each piece of paper that Jodi is cutting out written as a decimal?
Texas Go Math Grade 6 Module 3 Quiz Answer Key 1
Answer:
The area of each piece of paper is product of 8\(\frac{1}{2}\) and 11:
8\(\frac{1}{2}\) × 11 = \(\frac{17}{2} \times \frac{11}{1}\)
= \(\frac{17 \times 11}{2}\)
= \(\frac{187}{2}\)
= 93.5
So, the area of each piece of paper that Jodi is cutting out is 93.5 square inches.
