Question

Work out £1.25 as a fraction of 50p
A 2/5 B 4/1
C
5/2
D 1/4

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

test taking strategy:

1.25 is bigger than 50p

so any fractions with top smaller than bottom is wrong

so eliminate A and D

B & C remaining

B = 4

4*50p = 2 pounds, so it's wrong

C is right.

double check:

1.25 / 50 = 2.5 = 5/2 correct
