Question

Dale has a special deck of cards. Each card has a different rational number on it. The cards are 0.25,4/5,2/9,0.48, and 8/11. How many cards have a value that is greater than 1/2

Answer 1

There are two cards which have a value greater than 1/2. In order to calculate this, you need to look at the numbers. 0.25 equals 1/4, which is not greater than a half. 2/9 would also not be greater than one half. 1/2 is .50, so .48 would also not be greater.
