-2/9, -0.9, -1.7, -4/7
Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?
-0.9
-4/7
-1.7
-2/9
Correct Answer : D
The initial step is to convert the decimal options to fractions. Then, we find the LCM of the denominators of all fractions, which will be used to compare the values of the given options.
-0. becomes -9/10
-1.7 becomes -17/10
Then, the resulting denominators are 9, 10, and 63. Their LCM of 630 is used to multiply each fraction.
-2/9*630=-140
-9/10*630=-567
-17/10*630=-1071
-4/7*630=-360
From the calculations above, -140 is the greatest value of all the values. Thus, -2/9 is the greatest number.

Explanation
We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.
First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows
[3(2+6*4)]
We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 6*4=24. The expression becomes
[3(2+24)]
Then, we conduct the addition of 2+24=26. Then, the expression becomes
[3(26)]=3*26=78
Now, we solve for denominator, which is 26/2=13.
Thus, the expression is reduced into
\(\frac{[3(2+6\ast4)]}{(26\div2)}=\frac{78}{13}=6\)
The expression reduces into 6.

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank can hold. A full tank is equivalent to 1.
Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction as follows
If we let x be the number of gallons in full tank, and setting up the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.
Cross-multiply to find the value of x.
Converting 189/10 to a mixed fraction is 18 9/10. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 18 9/10 gallons of water.
Correct Answer is A

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.
First, add 2 to both sides of equation
Add 10 to both sides of the equation
Next, we apply the absolute rule:
If u=a, a>0, then u=a or u=-a
In this case a=5, which is greater 0.
The first condition becomes
Solving for x
The second condition becomes
Solving for x
Then, the value of x is -4/3 or 2.
