  • Q #2: -1/3, -0.6, -1.5, -7/3. Of the numbers listed above, which number is the greatest?

    A. -0.6

    B. -7/3

    C. -1/3

    D. -1.5

    Answer Explanation

    To find the greatest value, we need to have uniform numbers. That is, all numbers must be in fraction for easy comparison. Therefore, we convert -0.6, and -1.5 into fractions as follows. For purposes of easy computation, we do not simplify the resulting fractions. 

    -0.6=-6/10

    -1.5=-15/10

    Now, the resulting fractions are -1/3, -6/10, -15/10, and -7/3. The greatest value is found by finding the LCM of the denominators and multiplying with each fraction. The LCM of 3 and 10 is 30. Then,

    -1/3*30=-10

    -6/10*30=-18

    -15/10*30=-45

    -7/3*30=-70

    Based on the obtained values, -10 is the greatest value and -70 the least value. Therefore, -1/3 is the greatest of all the four options.
