Question 10 • Grade 7 Mathematics

In the expression 7 m over 9 plus 6 r minus 4 fifths , what are the coefficients?

Answer
A
7 ninths and 6
B
7 ninths and negative 6
C
7 ninths and negative 4 fifths
D
negative 4 fifths and 6

Explanation

Rewrite the expression as (7/9)m + 6r − 4/5. A coefficient is the number multiplying a variable, so the coefficient of m is 7/9 and the coefficient of r is 6. The term −4/5 is a constant, not a coefficient of a variable. Therefore, the coefficients are 7/9 and 6.
