Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Evaluating Numerical Expressions with Fractions Worksheets
Sure! Let’s evaluate each of the 10 numerical expressions step by step, following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
Parentheses → Exponents → Multiplication & Division (left to right) → Addition & Subtraction (left to right).

---

1) \( 8 - \frac{3}{2} \times 4 + \frac{1}{3} \)



- First, multiplication: \( \frac{3}{2} \times 4 = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \)
- Now expression becomes: \( 8 - 6 + \frac{1}{3} \)
- Left to right: \( 8 - 6 = 2 \), then \( 2 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} \)

Answer: \( \frac{7}{3} \) or \( 2\frac{1}{3} \)

---

2) \( 5 + \frac{5}{8} \div 21 \)



- Division first: \( \frac{5}{8} \div 21 = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{21} = \frac{5}{168} \)
- Now add: \( 5 + \frac{5}{168} = \frac{840}{168} + \frac{5}{168} = \frac{845}{168} \)

Answer: \( \frac{845}{168} \) (can be simplified? GCD of 845 and 168 is 1 → already simplified)

---

3) \( \frac{1}{4} \times 9 \times \frac{2}{3} \)



- Multiply left to right: \( \frac{1}{4} \times 9 = \frac{9}{4} \)
- Then \( \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{18}{12} = \frac{3}{2} \)

Answer: \( \frac{3}{2} \) or \( 1\frac{1}{2} \)

---

4) \( 8 \times 5 - \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} \)



- Multiplication first:
- \( 8 \times 5 = 40 \)
- \( \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{27}{8} \)
- Now subtract: \( 40 - \frac{27}{8} = \frac{320}{8} - \frac{27}{8} = \frac{293}{8} \)

Answer: \( \frac{293}{8} \) or \( 36\frac{5}{8} \)

---

5) \( 64 \div 6 - \frac{7}{9} \times \frac{3}{7} \)



- Division and multiplication first:
- \( 64 \div 6 = \frac{64}{6} = \frac{32}{3} \)
- \( \frac{7}{9} \times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{21}{63} = \frac{1}{3} \) (simplify by canceling 7 and 3)
- Now subtract: \( \frac{32}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{31}{3} \)

Answer: \( \frac{31}{3} \) or \( 10\frac{1}{3} \)

---

6) \( 4 \times \frac{1}{7} \div 5 \)



- Left to right: multiplication then division
- \( 4 \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{4}{7} \)
- \( \frac{4}{7} \div 5 = \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{35} \)

Answer: \( \frac{4}{35} \)

---

7) \( \frac{5}{6} \times 18 - \frac{4}{3} \)



- First, multiplication: \( \frac{5}{6} \times 18 = \frac{90}{6} = 15 \)
- Then subtract: \( 15 - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{45}{3} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{41}{3} \)

Answer: \( \frac{41}{3} \) or \( 13\frac{2}{3} \)

---

8) \( 2 - \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{3}{8} + 1 \)



- Multiplication first: \( \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{12}{72} = \frac{1}{6} \)
- Now expression: \( 2 - \frac{1}{6} + 1 \)
- Left to right: \( 2 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{12}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{11}{6} \)
- Then \( \frac{11}{6} + 1 = \frac{11}{6} + \frac{6}{6} = \frac{17}{6} \)

Answer: \( \frac{17}{6} \) or \( 2\frac{5}{6} \)

---

9) \( 82 - 9 \times \frac{7}{6} + \frac{5}{2} \)



- Multiplication first: \( 9 \times \frac{7}{6} = \frac{63}{6} = \frac{21}{2} \)
- Expression becomes: \( 82 - \frac{21}{2} + \frac{5}{2} \)
- Combine fractions: \( -\frac{21}{2} + \frac{5}{2} = -\frac{16}{2} = -8 \)
- Now: \( 82 - 8 = 74 \)

Answer: \( 74 \)

---

10) \( 1 + 4 \times \frac{9}{8} \)



- Multiplication first: \( 4 \times \frac{9}{8} = \frac{36}{8} = \frac{9}{2} \)
- Add: \( 1 + \frac{9}{2} = \frac{2}{2} + \frac{9}{2} = \frac{11}{2} \)

Answer: \( \frac{11}{2} \) or \( 5\frac{1}{2} \)

---

## Final Answers:

1. \( \frac{7}{3} \)
2. \( \frac{845}{168} \)
3. \( \frac{3}{2} \)
