Which of the following values is the greatest?

A. 3/7

B. 6.98

C. 10/7

D. 9.2

Answer Explanation:

To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

6.98 becomes 698/100

9.2 becomes 92/10

The least common denominator for the denominators of 7, 100 and 10 is 700. Now we can multiply each fraction with 700 as follows:

3/7*700=300

698/100*700=4886

10/7*700=1000

92/10*700=6440

In order from the smallest to largest, we organize the number set as follows:

3/7, 10/7, 6.98, 9.2.

Thus, 9.2 is the greatest of all.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #1: How many milliliters are there in 6.5 liters?

A. 0.65

B. 65

C. 650

D. 6500

Answer Explanation

We use the relation 1 L=1000 mL to convert L to mL.

The two options for converting between L and mL are

And

We use the first option to convert 6.5 L to mL as follows:

Thus, 6.5 L is 6500 mL.
Q #2: A bucket containing 2 2/5 gallons of water is 4/7 full. How many gallons of water is in one fully filled bucket?

A. 4 1/5

B. 2 1/5

C. 4 4/5

D. 2 2/5

Answer Explanation

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank can hold. A full tank is equivalent to 1.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction as follows

(2frac{2}{5}=frac{left(2ast5 ight)+2}{5}=frac{10+2}{5}=frac{12}{5})

If we let x be the number of gallons in full tank, and setting up the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

(frac{x gallons}{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})

Cross-multiply to find the value of x.

(frac{x }{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})

(x astfrac{4}{7}full tank=frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank)

(x =frac{frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank}{frac{4}{7}full tank}=frac{12}{5}divfrac{4}{7} gallons=frac{12}{5}astfrac{7}{4}gallons=frac{21}{5}gallons)

Converting 21/5 to a mixed fraction is 4 1/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 4 1/5 gallons of water.
Q #3: Simplify the expression. Which of the following is correct?

A. 9

B. 8

C. 6

D. 20
Answer Explanation

We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression. The order of operations is PEMDAS:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division (in order from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (in order from left to right)
First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[3(6+5*4)]

We start with multiplication in parenthesis, 5*4=20. The expression becomes

[3(6+20)]

Then, we conduct the addition in parenthesis 6+20=26. Then, the expression becomes

[3(26)]=3*26=78

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 26/2=13.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 6.
