Question

Which one of the following expressions gives the same result as (3 x 1/4) + 2?

• A. (1/3 x 4) + 2
• B. (1/4 x 3) + 2
• C. (2/3 x 3) + 2
• D. (1/4 x 3) + 6

Answer 1

The correct option is B (1/4 x 3) + 2

Given expression is (3$\times$$\frac{1}{4}$) + 2.

For any two rational numbers,
a $\times$ b = b $\times$ a

Hence, (3 $\times$ $\frac{1}{4}$) + 2 = ($\frac{1}{4}$ $\times$ 3) + 2
