    Correct Answer

    B) 0.022 = 0.02200 = 2,200
    C) 0.00004 = 0.00004 = 4
    D) 0.0197 = 0.01970 = 1,970
    E) 0.0202 = 0.0202 = 2,020

    • 3

    • 4

    • 7

    • 8

    Correct Answer

    • 2/3

    • 0.0698

    • 7/12

    • 6.83%

    • 11/16

    Correct Answer
    A. 11/16
    Explanation
    Convert all of these to the same form (fraction, decimal, percent) and compare:

    Which of the following is greater than .512 = 51.2%?

    1/2 = 50%
    0.0598 = 5.98%
    5/12 = 41.66...%
    5.83%
    8/15 = 53.33...%

    It is clear that 8/15 is the answer.

    The quick way would have been to recognize .512 as being just slightly over 1/2, and that the only answer given that is more than 1/2 is 8/15, because 8 is more than half of 15.
