is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you look at the answers, you can see there are two categories--fractions and whole numbers. Which of the two are different?

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

you can only choose one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you can only choose one of the four choices. I was asking you to identify which ones are fractions and which ones are whole numbers

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

2 and 4 are whole numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Doesn't two have a decimal in front of the number?

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

33 and 1/3 is whole but has a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you referring to the first, or top one?

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

33 and 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesn't that have a percentage sign % ?

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

yes,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A percentage sign indicates that there needs to be a decimal inserted and that it is a fraction of a whole 100%

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would your write the number with the decimal?

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

question, would you multiply the fraction x 33

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

99?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

33% = 0.33 33 & 1/3 = 0.333

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

think i got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so which is the whole number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That should have read 33% = 0.33 33 & 1/3 %= 0.333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is only one answer that has a whole number to the left of the decimal. Which one do you see that reflects that?
