Rust Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal (RANRA) test 3 , Question : 7/32 Help
A. (0.375+0.25)*(8/15).
B. 1/4
A A is greater than B
Explanation | Close
We need to manipulate the expression in statement A in order to compare it with
statement B:
The following method does not require long calculations.
(1/2)*(1/2)=1/4; The expression in the first brackets (0.375+0.25) is greater than
1/2, since 0.25=1/4 and 0.375>1/4. The expression in the second brackets (8/15) is
also greater than 1/2, therefore, the product of the multiplication must be greater
than 1/4. The correct answer is A.
Straightforward calculation:
First, we need to convert all decimals to fractions: 0.375 is not common, but we
can look at it also as 0.125*3; 0.125=1/8
1/8*3=3/8 ; 0.25 is a common decimal and is equal to 1/4 or 2/8.
So:
If we reduce this fraction by the common denominator 8 and then by 5, we get 1/3
1/3>1/4 ; The correct answer is A.
