Example Question #71 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction

Which of the following is NOT a fraction equivalent to 0.6?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{18}{30}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{6}{10}$

$\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{9}{15}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

To find out which fraction is NOT equivalent to 0.6, convert each fraction into a decimal. To convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number).

$\frac{2}{3} = 0.66$

Therefore, this is the only answer choice that is a fraction that is NOT equivalent to 0.6.

Example Question #103 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

Which of the following fractions is greater than 0.25?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{3}{11}$

$\frac{3}{19}$

$\frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{11}$

Explanation:

First, change each of the answers into a decimal. To change a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number).

$\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

$\frac{2}{9} = 0.22$

$\frac{1}5{} = 0.20$

$\frac{3}{19} = 0.16$

$\frac{3}{11} = 0.27$

The only fraction whose decimal equivalent is greater than 0.25 is $\tfrac{3}{11}$ . This is the correct answer.

Example Question #72 : Fractions

Convert $\frac{12}{32}$ to a decimal.

Possible Answers:

0.44

0.475

0.375

0.345

0.315

Correct answer:

0.375

Explanation:

Reduce $\frac{12}{32}$ by common factors as simplified as possible.

$\frac{12}{32}= \frac{4\times3}{4\times8} = \frac{3}{8}$

Divide 100 by the denominator becasue we want to make a new fraction with 100 as our denominator.

$\frac{100}{8}=12.5$

Multiply this number to the numerator.

$3\times 12.5=37.5$

The fraction $\frac{12}{32}$ is equivalent to $\frac{37.5}{100}$ , which is the same as 0.375 .
