Answer 1

what would you change these into

Answer 2

I believe you're incorrect.

Answer 3

1/3

Answer 4

Change 33 1/3% into a decimal, what do you get?

Answer 5

@Juliusmattos12 Please no answers.

Answer 6

-,-

Answer 7

yes, I'm trying to fix it

Answer 8

1/3

Answer 9

Correct.

Answer 10

33 1/3% is equal to 1/3

Answer 11

Can you express 1/3 as a decimal?

Answer 12

so I was right xD

Answer 13

@Juliusmattos12 No, we're not looking for things that are the same, it's asking for values that are different.

Answer 14

.3

Answer 15

Since 33 1/3% and 1/3 are equal, they are not our answers.

Answer 16

Yes, you're correct!

So 33 1/3%, 1/3, and \(\sf 0.\overline 3\) are all equal, that leaves one option left

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

Wait, please. three of the possible answers are alike in a particular way, whereas one is not. Which one does not have the pattern of the other three?

Answer 19

WHAT Y WAS I TOLD AS AN ABUSE

Answer 20

1/3 is different

Answer 21

Why is 1/3 different?

Answer 22

@benlindquist

The question is asking for one of the answers that are DIFFERENT from the rest.

You said \(\sf 33 \dfrac{1}{3} \%\) is equal to \(\sf\dfrac{1}{3}\), and that \(\sf\dfrac{1}{3} = 0.\overline 3\).

Answer 23

"You said" does not necessarily mean that what was said is correct. Think again.

Answer 24

the last one would be .333

Answer 25

what do you mean? Unclear.

Answer 26

^

I'm thinking the same of your previous statement.

Answer 27

I believe I don't see anything wrong with what was said before.

Answer 28

So, which of the four possible answers does not fit in with the other three? Why?

Answer 29

33.3 I'm seeing what is wrong

Answer 30

What's wrong with 33.3?

Answer 31

its would be 0.333 and not 0.3

Answer 32

Ben: Try this:

Change the first possible answer into a decimal fraction.

Now multiply all four possible answers by 100.

Your results don't have to be exact.

What do you get?

Does this help you answer the original quation?

Answer 33

1. 0.3

Answer 34

2.30

Answer 35

3.33

Answer 36

4.3330

Answer 37

The first possible answer is 33 1/3%. This can be converted into the decimal fraction .3333.... Multiply this result by 100. What is an approx. result (product)?

Answer 38

33.33

Answer 39

so the 2nd problem would be the different one

Answer 40

Yes, you get approx 33.33 from the first possible answer.

Next, multiply the next one, 0.3 with a bar over the 3, by 100.
Approx answer?

Answer 41

30

Answer 42

Please move on to the third possible answer. Mult 1/3 by 100.

Answer 43

33.33 with a bar over since it repeats itself

Answer 44

good.
Now mult. the fourth possible answer by 100.

Answer 45

3330

Answer 46

Your four results are 33.33, 30, 33.33, 3330. Which one does not fit in with the others?

Answer 47

30

Answer 48

Are you saying that 3330 fits the pattern better than do 33.33, 30 and 33.33?

Answer 49

I am going to have you line up out in front of y our house with three of your cousins standing next to you. I'm going to give one of your cousins $3000. I'm giving $30 to you and to each of your other two cousins. Fair?

Answer 50

no

Answer 51

Why not? I'm always fair.

Answer 52

is it because of the decimal?

Answer 53

No. Which one does not fit in with the others? 30, 33, 33, 3000

Answer 54

It should be the last one?

Answer 55

right. very good.

Answer 56

Answer 57

Answer 58
