Which of the following is the greatest value?

A. 74÷95

B. 7/8

C. 0.72

D. 74%

Answer Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.

74 95 =

7/8 = 3/8

0.72 = 72/100

74% = 74/100

Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:

74/95*3800=2960

7/8*3800=3325

72/100*3800=2736

74/100*3800=2812

We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #1: The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. Which of the following is the total rainfall for the first 5 months of the year?

A. 11 inches

B. 7.5 inches

C. 4.5 inches

D. 3.5 inches

Answer Explanation

The first five months of the year are January, February, March, April, and May. We use to graph to find the amount of rainfall in each month as follows:

In the month of January, rainfall was between o and 1, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in January is 0.5 inches

On February, rainfall was 1 inch and on March the rainfall was 2 inches.

On April, the rainfall amount was 4 inches while on month of May, the rainfall was about 3.5 inches. Therefore, total rainfall in the first 5 months was:

Total rainfall=0.5 inches+1 inches+ 2 inches+4 inches + 3.5 inches =11 inches
Q #2: Which of the following is the correct decimal placement for the product of 1.9 * 0.75?

A. 1.425

B. 14.25

C. 0.01425

D. 0.001425

Answer Explanation

In the given problem, we use the calculator to evaluate the product 1.9 * 0.75 = 1.425
Q #3: Which of the following values is the greatest?

A. 7/3

B. 5.2

C. 13/3

D. 5.15

Answer Explanation

The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

5.2 becomes 52/10

5.15 becomes 515/100

Next, find the least common denominator of 3, 10, and 100, which is 300. We use this value and multiply each fraction.

7/3*300=700

52/10*300=1560

13/3*300=1300

515/100*300=1545

From the above, 1560 is the greatest value which corresponds to 52/10. Thus, 5.2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.
