Example Question #176 : Fractions

Arrange these numbers from least to greatest:

$\left \{ \frac{1}{7}, \frac{3}{20}, \frac{7}{50} \right \}$

Possible Answers:

$\left \{ \frac{3}{20}, \frac{1}{7} , \frac{7}{50}\right \}$

$\left \{ \frac{3}{20} , \frac{7}{50}, \frac{1}{7} \right \}$

$\left \{ \frac{7}{50}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{3}{20} \right \}$

$\left \{ \frac{7}{50}, \frac{3}{20} , \frac{1}{7} \right \}$

$\left \{ \frac{1}{7} , \frac{3}{20}, \frac{7}{50} \right \}$

Correct answer:

$\left \{ \frac{7}{50}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{3}{20} \right \}$

Explanation:

Rewrite all three numbers as their decimal equivalents by dividing numerator by denominator.

$\frac{1}{7} = 1 \div 7 = 0.142857 ...$

$\frac{3}{20} = 3 \div 20 = 0.15$

$\frac{7}{50} = 7 \div 50 = 0.14$

From the decimal equivalents, the fractions can be arranged as follows:

$\left \{ \frac{7}{50}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{3}{20} \right \}$

Example Question #175 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction

Write $\frac{5 }{12}$ as a decimal.

Possible Answers:

$0.41\overline{6}$

0.42

$0.41\overline{8}$

$0.4 \overline{6}$

0.41

Correct answer:

$0.41\overline{6}$

Explanation:

Divide 5 by 12.

$\frac{5}{12} = 5\div 12 = 0.41666...$

Note that the "6" repeats forever. This can be written as $0.41\overline{6}$ .

Example Question #176 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction

How many of the following four numbers are elements of the set

$A = \left \{ x \; | \; \frac{1}{2}< x < \frac{2}{3}\right \} ?$

(A) 0.52

(B) 0.57

(D) 0.67

Possible Answers:

Two

One

Four

Three

None

Correct answer:

Three

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} = 1\div 2 = 0.5$ and $\frac{2}{3} = 2 \div 3= 0.666...$ , so we choose the numbers that fall between these two. Of the four choices, only 0.67 is not between these two numbers. The correct response is "three".

Example Question #177 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction

Add the fractions:

$\frac{8}{26}+\frac{11}{26}=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{26}$

$\frac{3}{26}$

$\frac{20}{26}$

$\frac{19}{26}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{19}{26}$

Explanation:

Add the numerators and keep the denominator the same:

$\frac{8}{26}+\frac{11}{26}=\frac{19}{26}$

Answer: $\frac{19}{26}$

Example Question #178 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction

Arrange these numbers from least to greatest:

$\left \{- \frac{3}{4}, -\frac{7}{9},-\frac{8}{11} \right \}$

Possible Answers:

$\left \{ -\frac{8}{11} , - \frac{3}{4}, -\frac{7}{9}\right \}$

$\left \{ -\frac{8}{11}, -\frac{7}{9} , - \frac{3}{4}\right \}$

$\left \{-\frac{7}{9}, - \frac{3}{4}, -\frac{8}{11} \right \}$

$\left \{- \frac{3}{4}, -\frac{7}{9},-\frac{8}{11} \right \}$

$\left \{-\frac{7}{9}, -\frac{8}{11} , - \frac{3}{4}\right \}$

Correct answer:

$\left \{-\frac{7}{9}, - \frac{3}{4}, -\frac{8}{11} \right \}$

Explanation:

Rewrite all three numbers as their decimal equivalents by dividing numerator by denominator.

$- \frac{3}{4} = -3 \div 4 = -0.75$

$-\frac{7}{9} = -7 \div 9 = -0.777...$

$-\frac{8}{11} = -8 \div 11 = -0.7272...$

To arrange negative numbers from least to greatest, we must arrange them so that their absolute values (values without the negative symbol) go from greatest to least. In descending order, the absolute values are

$\left \{ 0.777..., 0.75, 0.7272... \right \}$ ,

so, in ascending order, the numbers themselves are

$\left \{ - 0.777..., -0.75, -0.7272... \right \}$ ,

or, in their fractional equivalents,

$\left \{-\frac{7}{9}, - \frac{3}{4}, -\frac{8}{11} \right \}$ .
