-3/5, -0.9, -1.9, -8/3
Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?
-3/5
-0.9
-1.9
-8/3
Correct Answer : A
To answer this question, we need to convert the numbers into a similar form. Converting decimal numbers into fraction is appropriate to finding the greatest number.
-0.9 becomes 9/10
-1.9 becomes 19/10
Now we find the LCM of the denominators of the four fractions. The LCM of 5, 10 and 3 is 30. Multiply each fraction with the LCM to compare the fractions.
-3/5*30=-18
-9/10*30=-27
-19/10*30=-57
-8/3*30=-24
The greatest number is -18, meaning -3/5 is the greatest number.

we need to find the price of the stock on Thursday.
First, find the price changes in each day of the week as follows:
Monday’s price was $45.32
Tuesday’s price went up by $3.25 from Monday’s price. The price was $(45.32+3.25)=$48.57
Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.73 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(48.57-1.73)=$46.84
Thursday’s price increased by $0.89 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(46.84+0.89)=$47.73
Therefore, the stock price on Thursday was $47.73.
