Q #1: Which of the following values is the greatest?
A. 25/2
B. 12.35
C. 40/3
D. 11.46
Answer Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given set, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
12.35 becomes 1235/100
11.46 becomes 1146/10
Then, the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions of 2, 100, 3 and 10 is 300. Now we multiply each fraction with 300, which we will use to compare the give set.
25/2*300=3750
1235/100*300=3705
40/3*300=4000
1146/10*300=3438
From the calculated values, 4000 is the greatest value. Then, 40/3 is the greatest value.

Q #2: -3/5, -0.9, -1.9, -8/3 Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?
A. -3/5
B. -0.9
C. -1.9
D. -8/3
Answer Explanation
To answer this question, we need to convert the numbers into a similar form. Converting decimal numbers into fraction is appropriate to finding the greatest number.
-0.9 becomes 9/10
-1.9 becomes 19/10
Now we find the LCM of the denominators of the four fractions. The LCM of 5, 10 and 3 is 30. Multiply each fraction with the LCM to compare the fractions.
-3/5*30=-18
-9/10*30=-27
-19/10*30=-57
-8/3*30=-24
The greatest number is -18, meaning -3/5 is the greatest number.

Q #3: Solve for z in the equation above.
A. z=rwy+x
B. z=rw+(y/x)
C. z=y(x+rw)
D. z=rw-(y/x)
Answer Explanation
We are asked to make z the subject of the formula.
First, we subtract y/x from both sides of the equation
Thus, the formula for finding the value of z is
.
