Seated Practice with Answers
Instructions: Solve the following problems involving fractions and decimals. Check your answers with the
provided solutions.
You need to install a wire that is 3/8 of a foot long and another wire that is 1/4 of a foot long. How long are the
wires combined?
Solution 1:
3/8 + 1/4
First, find a common denominator, which is 8 in this case. Rewrite 1/4 as an equivalent fraction with a
denominator of 8:
3/8 + 2/8
(3 + 2)/8 = 5/8
Problem 2: Carpentry
You have a board that is 3.5 feet long. You need to cut off 1.25 feet from the board. How long will the remaining
piece be?
Solution 2:
To find the length of the remaining piece, subtract 1.25 feet from 3.5 feet:
Problem 3: Welding
You are welding a steel plate that is 0.375 inches thick. You need to weld another plate that is 0.125 inches thick
on top of it. What will be the total thickness of the welded plates?
Solution 3:
To find the total thickness of the welded plates, add the decimal numbers:
So, the total thickness of the welded plates will be 0.5 inches.
Problem 4: Auto-Mechanics
You are working on an engine with a cylinder bore diameter of 3.75 inches. If you need to increase the bore
diameter by 0.0625 inches, what will be the new diameter?
Solution 4:
To find the new diameter, add 0.0625 inches to the current diameter:
You have two wires. One is 1/3 of a foot long, and the other is 0.75 feet long. What is the total length of these
wires?
Solution 5:
To find the total length of the wires, add the fractions and the decimal:
1/3 + 0.75
1/3 + 3/4
4/12 + 9/12
(4 + 9)/12 = 13/12
13/12 = 1 1/12
So, the total length of the wires is 1 foot and 1/12 of a foot.
