Question 1 of 5
Which of the following decimals is the largest?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To determine the largest decimal among the options, you need to compare them by looking at the digits after the decimal point. When comparing 0.6, 0.667, 0.0688, and 0.68, consider that 0.6 is equivalent to 0.600, 0.667 remains 0.667, 0.0688 is already in its most precise form, and 0.68 is the same as 0.680. By comparing them, you can see that 0.68 is the largest decimal among the options provided. Remember, when comparing decimals, it's important to line up the decimal points to make accurate comparisons.

Question 3 of 5
Ratio and Proportion: 0.5:20 :: X:200
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve this proportion problem, you need to set up the ratio 0.5/20 equal to X/200. Cross-multiply to solve for X, which gives you 0.5 � 200 = 20X. Simplifying this, you get 100 = 20X, and then by dividing both sides by 20, you find that X = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is A, X = 50.
