Value: 3 A secretary was making name tags. She made each name tag from an index card which was cut into fourths. How many name tags can the secretary make with 2 index cards? a. 8 b. 2 c. \( 3 / 8 \) d. \( 1 / 2 \)

Each index card can be cut into 4 fourths. If the secretary has 2 index cards, then she can create \( 2 \times 4 = 8 \) name tags. So the answer is a. 8! Calculating fractions can sometimes be tricky. A common mistake is forgetting to multiply the quantity of cards before cutting. Always remember to do the math step-by-step: how many sections per card and then how many cards you have to get the total!
