Worked practice questions

Convert 0.7̄ (7 repeating: 0.7777…) to a fraction:

  1. 7/9
  2. 7/10
  3. 7/100
  4. 7/11
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 7/9

Let x = 0.777... Then 10x = 7.777... **Subtract:** 9x = 7, so x = 7/9. (Check: 7/9 = 0.777...). **General rule:** 0.d̄ (single digit d repeating) = d/9.

Find the distance between -3 and 5 on the number line:

  1. 2
  2. 5
  3. 8
  4. -8
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 8

Distance = |a − b|. **So |5 − (−3)| = |5 + 3| = 8. Visually: from -3 to 0 is 3 units, then 0 to 5 is 5 units, total 8.**

Which of the following can be written as a rational p/q in lowest terms with q having ONLY 2 as a prime factor?

  1. 1/3
  2. 1/12
  3. 1/8
  4. 1/15
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 1/8

1/8 = 1/2³ — denominator has only prime 2. 12 = 2² × 3 (has 3) 15 = 3 × 5 (has 3, 5) 3 = 3 (has 3). Only 1/8 fits the criterion. *Note: 1/8 = 0.125 (terminating decimal — predictable from this property).*
