Hello @zozodemon and Welcome to OpenStudy! :) we can try to do this problem by process of elimination, so first is 3 over 5 bigger or smaller than 3 over 4?
oh whoops I should mention that the answer has to be smaller than 1 and bigger than 3 over 4 to be the answer
hint: 7/4 is greater than 1
is B the answer
why it is B?
That is Correct! :) Good job :3
@Michele_Laino be careful to not misread the question ^_^ it was 3/4 < x < 1 not 1 3/4 = ?
Yes I know @jigglypuff314 , I wanted that @zozodemon gave us a little explanation only
@Michele_Laino I converted all the fractions and whole numbers into decimals. 1 and 3 over4 as decimals = 1.0 and .75. then I converted the answer choices into decimals: a=.60, b=.875, c=.625, d=1.75. after doing so b was the only one between .75 and 1.0
good job! Congratulations! @zozodemon
can I ask my last question?
ok!
what is negative 3 over 8 as a decimal and as a percent?
hint: what is 8*0.375=...?
is negative .375 the decimal form
ok!
and, what is: 0.375*100=...?
-37.5% is the percent form
that's right!
got a 100 % on the assessment thanks for the help @Michele_Laino @jigglypuff314
Thanks! @zozodemon
