Answers
Harriet has enoughgas to make the trip to her friend's house and back without needing to refuel her car.
What is Fraction?
A fraction represents a part of a whole.
Given that Harriet has 3/4 tank of gas left in her car.
She needs 1/4 tank to go to her friends house and another 1/4 tank to get back home.
We need to check whether she has enough gas for her trip.
Since Harriet has 3/4 of a tank of gas left, she has 1/4 of a tank already used.
She needs another 1/4 of a tank to go to her friend's house and another 1/4 of a tank to get back home.
Altogether, she needs 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 of a tank for the round trip.
Hence, Harriet has enoughgas to make the trip to her friend's house and back without needing to refuel her car.

1 x 15 and 3 x 5 so the she can put one of each, or she can put 3 of each,
or she can put 5 of each , or she can put 15 of each.
The problem is unclear however because as worded she could put 2 sweaters, 2 shirts and 2 pair of jeans. I think the teacher wants all the jeans used. The number 1,3,5 and 15 will use up all of the jeans.
1 jean on 15 racks
or 3 jeans on 5 racks
or 5 jeans on 3 racks
or 15 jeans on one rack
These are the sort of ambiguous word problems 4th graders are exposed to on a daily basis. As the gentleman mentioned, the teacher expects 15, the largest common factor but 1 on each rack fits as well. It should have read “what’s the maximum number of the same item can he/she place on the racks?”

Applying the definition of quotient and creating an equation, the value of the unknown number is: z = 2.
What is Quotient?
Quotient is the result you get when two numbers are divided with each other.
Thus:
Unknown number = z
Sum of z and 22 is: z + 22
(z + 22)/z = 12 (quotient)
Solve to find the value of z
z + 22 = 12z
22 = 12z - z
22 = 11z
22/11 = z
z = 2
Therefore, applying the definition of quotient and creating an equation, the value of the unknown number is: z = 2.

z+22=12z
22=12z-z
22=11z
z=22/11=2

Take note:
to have a quotient with at negative sign, both a & b must have opposites signs. a can be a positive number while b is a negative number or vice versa. If both a and b have the same sign, its quotient will be a positive number.
Let us disregard the sign.
To arrive at the answer of 2, a must be twice the amount of b. meaning a = 2b.
For example: look for a if b is equal to 2. a = 2(2) ; a = 4.
a / b = 2
4 / 2 = 2
2 = 2
Now, we consider the sign of both numbers. a can be 4 while b can be -2 OR vice versa.
a / b = -2
4 / -2 = -2 or -4 / 2 = -2
