Using the numbers below, which of the following is the greatest?
4/3, 27/20, 1.369, 1.357
1.369
4/3
27/20
1.357
Correct Answer : A
to do a comparison of the given data set, we convert the fraction numbers into the approximate decimals.
4/3=1.333
2720=1.35
Now, we have 1.333, 1.35, 1.369, 1.357. These numbers are arranged from the smallest to the largest number, we look at the number in the second decimal place value
1.333 the number in second decimal place value is 3
1.35 the number in third decimal place value is 5
1.369 the number in third decimal place value is 6
1.357 the number in third decimal place value is 5
However, 1.35 and 1.357 have 5 in the second-place vale. We use the ird place value to compare the two number:
1.35 is same as 1.350 and the number in the third-place value is 0
1.357 the number in the third-place value is 7
Now, 0 is less than 7, and thus 1.35 is less than 1.357
Overall, 3 is less than 5, and 5 less than 6 and the provided numbers can be arranged from the smallest to the largest as:
1.333, 1.35, 1.357, 1.369
Thus, the corresponding given numbers organized from the smallest to the largest become:
4/3, 27/20, 1.357, 1.369
The greatest value is 1.369

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The best way to display the frequency of each day of the week when students get up after 8 a.m. is by using a bar graph. Bar graphs are well-suited for representing categorical data, where each day of the week is a separate category, and the height of each bar corresponds to the count or frequency of students waking up late on that specific day.
Note: Histograms, on the other hand, are more appropriate for visualizing continuous or numerical data and are not ideal for categorical data like days of the week.Histograms are useful for understanding the distribution of data, identifying patterns, and assessing the shape of the data distribution, such as whether it's normally distributed, skewed, or has multiple modes.
As you can see below, the Histogram is used to depict a pattern/continuous data. While a bar graph does just fine even with discrete data.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
The mean is the total divided by the number of elements in the data set. From the given data set:
Total=30+29+28+30+24+12+26+33+25+23=260
Number of items, N=10
Mean=total/N=260/10=26
The mean is 26.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The median temperature can be found by organizing the temperature values from the smallest to the largest value as follows:
98.6, 98.7, 99.0, 99.0,99.2, 99.3, 99.7, 100.0
(for an even set of numbers, Median = frac{(frac{n}{2})th observation + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th observation}{2})
From the data set above, there are 8temperature values. The median is the temperature value in the middle position, which falls between the(frac{n}{2} th)and((frac{n}{2} + 1) th) position. Here N=8and median is found as:
(frac{(frac{n}{2})th + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th}{2} = )(frac{(frac{8}{2})th + (frac{8}{2} + 1) th }{2} = 4.5th position)
The element in the 4.5th position is the average of the 4th and 5th element.
(frac{99.0 + 99.2}{2} = 99.1)
Thus 99.1 is the median temperature.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
We convert the given weight in pounds to ounces and find total weight. 1 pound=16 ounces, which we interpret as
Or
Use the second option to convert pounds to ounces
Now, we can ounces to ounces as: 48 oz + 5 oz= 53 oz
Therefore, 3 pounds, 5 ounces is equal to 53 oz
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We extrapolate the values of a line between 10 and 15 on y-axis to meet the curve and drop another line from the intersection of the curve to meet the x-axis and read off the age of the car.
Now, let’s extrapolate in the following diagram
The intersection of the line and the x-axis is between 4 and 5 years. This means that the car is about 4.5 years old. From the options given, the age of the car is more than 3 years old.
Correct Answer is D

we use the US customary system of units’ equivalent to convert from yards to inches. We know that 1yard=3 ft, and 1 ft =12 inches.
First, convert 2 ¾ into an improper fraction.
Then,
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Here we collect like terms together and solve for the unknown value of x.
7x-6=3x-26
Add 6 to both sides of the equation
7x-6+6=3x-26+6
7x=3x-20
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
7x-3x=-20
4x=-20
Divide both sides by 4
4x/-4=-20/4
x = -5
The value of x = -5
