To get your answer, divide 14 by 16.  Then, move the decimal place two places to the right and change it into a percentage. James scored about 86%.

So,

I like to simplify a fraction first.  This is what I do when I'm in a store trying to find the unit price.

\frac{14}{16}

Factor.
\frac{2*7}{2*2*2*2}

Cross out ones.
\frac{7}{2*2*2}

Multiply it out.
\frac{7}{8}

In my head, I remember that one-eighth is equal to 0.125.

So seven-eighths is equal to 0.125 times 7.
0.125 * 7 = 0.875

Convert to percent form.
0.875 --> 87.5%

James answered 87.5% of his quiz correctly.

I actually have the decimal equivalents for eighths in my head when I'm shopping.  So once I get seven-eighths, I immediately know how much that is.  I can also subtract 0.125 from 1.000 to get seven-eighths.

Answer:

B) Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical lines do not have a horizontal change; the line goes straight up and down. In other words, the change in the x values between any points on the graph is always 0, which would make the denominator of the slope 0. Since anything divided by 0 is undefined, the slope of a vertical line is <u>undefined</u>.
