Which of the following numbers is between 1/5 and 1/6?
Possible Answers:
0.13
0.16
0.19
0.25
0.22
Correct answer:
0.19
Explanation:
Long division shows that 1/5 = 0.20 and 1/6 = 0.16666... 0.13 < 0.16 < 1/6 < 0.19 < 1/5 < 0.22 < 0.25.
Example Question #2 : Decimals
Trevor, James, and Will were each given a candy bar. Trevor ate 7/12 of his and Will ate 20% of his. If James ate more than Will and less than Trevor, what amount could James have eaten?
Possible Answers:
9/15
1/10
8/9
2/7
3/5
Correct answer:
2/7
Explanation:
Turn Trevor and Will’s amounts into decimals to compare: 20% = 0.20 and 7/12 = 0.5083 rounded. When the answer choices are converted into decimals, 2/7 = 0.2871 is the only value between 0.20 and 0.5083.
