Question

$\text{How many courses have a duration of more}$ $\text{than}\frac{2}{8}\text{years ?}$

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4


Let's convert the fractions in the given table into an equivalent fraction with denominator 8.

$\frac{1}{4}$ $\text{=}\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{2}{2}\text{=}\frac{2}{8}$

$\frac{1}{2}$ $\text{=}\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{4}{4}\text{=}\frac{4}{8}$

$\frac{3}{4}$ $\text{=}\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{2}{2}\text{=}\frac{6}{8}$

The new table will look like:


Now, let's plot the fractions on a line plot graph.


When denominators are the same, then more the numerator, more is the value.

$\text{Hence, 4 courses have a duration more}$ $\text{than}\frac{2}{8}\text{years.}$
