Question

See attachment.

Answer 1

24*(5/3) = ??

Answer 2

thanks. let me c...

Answer 3

40.000008.

Answer 4

How did you get that? It should be an integer.

24/3 = 8

8*5 = 40

No "0.000008"

This solves the problem.

Answer 5

what letter answer choice is the correct one,then?

Answer 6

You'll have to tell me that. Speak with confidence.

Answer 7

b?

Answer 8

See that Question Mark? I was hoping you wouldn't use that. Is it B or isn't it?

Answer 9

It's b.

Answer 10

Notice how that's the only one even CLOSE to 40.

You might want to check the other side to verify: 12*(5/3) = ??

Answer 11

Okay.

Answer 12

let me calculate.

Answer 13

its wrong.

Answer 14

i got 20

Answer 15

oh, so each multiplied by 5/3

Answer 16

That's right. The ratio of the new figure's sides should be identical to the ration of thei original figure's sides.

24/12 = 2
B: 40/20 = 2

Notice how this test eliminated C and D but does NOT eliminate A.

24*(4/3) = 40
12*(4/3) = 20

Now THAT eliminates A. Only B is left.

Answer 17

Ooooh. Wait. I was right?

Answer 18

It was B!

Answer 19

Try not to be TOO SURPRISED when you get it right.

Answer 20

LOL. Okay. :)
