Q:

Express 0.875 and 0.375 as a Fraction.

A) 3/11 & 7/11	B) 7/9 & 9/13
C) 7/8 & 3/8	D) 7/9 & 9/11

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7/8 & 3/8

Explanation:

Given 0.875 and 0.375

0.875 ::

After decimal point there are 3 digits 875

Now, mutiply and divide 0.875 with 1000

$0.875 x \frac{1000}{1000} = \frac{875}{1000} Now, this can be reduced to fraction \frac{7}{8} Therefore, 0.875 as fraction = \frac{7}{8}$

Similarly,

0.375 ::

After decimal point there are 3 digits 375

Now, mutiply and divide 0.375 with 1000

$0.375 x \frac{1000}{1000} = \frac{375}{1000} Now, this can be reduced to fraction \frac{3}{8} Therefore, 0.375 as fraction = \frac{3}{8}$

Q:

Tanks A and B are each in the shape of a right circular cylinder. The interior of tank A has a height of 10 meters and a circumference of 8 meters, and the interior of tank B has a height of 8 meters and a circumference of 10 meters. The capacity of tank A is what percent of the capacity of tank B ?

A) 76%	B) 72%
C) 80%	D) 82%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 80%

Explanation:

circumference of A = $2 πr$ = 8 => so r = $\frac{4}{π}$
volume = $π \times {(\frac{4}{π})}^{2} \times 10$ = $\frac{160}{π}$
circumference of B = $2 πr$ = 10 => so r = $\frac{5}{π}$
volume = $π \times {(\frac{5}{π})}^{2} \times 8$ = $\frac{200}{π}$
so ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8
so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.
