  • Q #2: Which of the following values is the greatest?

    A. 9/2

    B. 10/3

    C. 4.4

    D. 4.25

    Answer Explanation

    We are given a mix of fractions and decimals and to compare the numbers, we convert the given decimals to fractions.

    4.4 becomes 44/10

    4.25 becomes 425/100

    Now the set of fractions for comparison are: 9/2, 10/3, 44/10, and 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 3 and 10 is 300. Then,

    9/2*300=1350

    10/3*300=1000

    44/10*300=1320

    425/10*300=1275

    From the above products, 9/2 gives the greatest value when the fractions are compared with the least common denominator of the given denominators.

  • Q #3: Using the table below, which of the following statements describes the relationship between days and dollars?  

    A. There is a positive correlation between days and dollars

    B. There is a negative correlation between days and dollars

    C. There is an inverse correlation between days and dollars

    D. There is no correlation between days and dollars

    Answer Explanation

    To answer this question, we need to observe the trend of the number of days with dollars. On day 2, the dollars were 8, after 5 days, the dollars decreased to 3, after 13 days, the dollars increased to 10. After 14 days, the dollars declined to 6 and again rose to 16 dollars after 19 days.

    From this observation, we cannot be able to establish any correlation between days and dollars.
