The GRE test now has a built-in calculator. Simply convert the fractions to decimals and compare:

Quantity A = 0.333 +0.43 + 0.2 = 0.963

Quantity B = 0.1429 + 0.5 + 0.3333 = 0.976

Thus, Quantity B is larger.

To express a fraction as a decimal, simply divide the numerator by the denomenator. In this case, you divide thirty two by thirty seven. From here add a decimal place and a zero after 32. Now we are able to divide.

Thus yielding: repeating.

Round to the nearest hundredth, and you get because the value in the thousandths place is a four or lower therefore, the value in the hundredths place remains the same.

To convert, first divide the numerator by the denomenator. For this problem we will need to add a decimal place and a zero to the end of 17 before we divide.

Then, you will yield repeating.

Then you can round to the nearest hundredth, which will give you your final answer of .

Since the value in the thousandths place is a seven which is greater than four, we will need to round the value in the hundredths place up to eight.

Looking at how close the dollar values are for A and B, it's tempting to think the GRE is being tricky, and that B will allow for the purchase of more cases of seeds.

Do not assume; check to see whether or not this is the situation. Note that a portion of a case cannot be purchased; round down to the nearest integer when calculating how many cases may be bought.

Since each case is $343.25

Quantity A:

Quantity B:

The two quantities are equal.

Looking at the differences in prices, one might guess that Quantity B is the answer. Beware the easy answer; always check.

Instead, calculating how many cases of claws Vega can buy, keeping in mind that he cannot purchase part of a case. Do not round up!

Quantity A:

Quantity B:

In either case, he can buy no more than seventeen cases. The two quantities are equal.

To solve this problem, simply divide the numerator by the denomenator. We see that when we try to divide these two numbers that 9 does not go into 2 therefore we need to add a decimal place and a zero to 2. Now we have 2.0 divided by 9 from here we can see that .2 times 9 gives us 1.8 which is close to 2. Now we subtract 1.8 from 2 and are left with .2. We repeat this process.

You are left with repeating, which can be rounded to , so that is the best answer.

To convert, first divide the numerator (twelve), by the denomenator (eleven), and you will yield:

repeating.

Then, you may round to the nearest hundredth, which gives you .

Since the value in the thousandths place is less than four this means the the value in the hundredths place will remain the same.

Convert all of the fractions to decimals. Thus, x is contained within the range of 0.33 < x < 0.76. The answers choices become 1/4 = 0.25, 4/12 = 0.33, 2/5 = 0.4, and 5/16 = 0.3125, respectively. Therefore, the only answer which is within the desired range is 2/5.

1/5 of the pizza is left after the ogre eats his share. The rats eat 3/4 of that, so 1/4 of 1/5 of the pizza is left.

1/4 * 1/5 = 1/20 = 5%

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.
