Answer: Choice B

24/48, 20/48, 18/48, 17/48

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 = 0.333 approximately

2/3 = 0.667 approximately

We're looking for values between 0.333 and 0.667

We can rule out choice A because 1 doesn't fit the description.

Choice C can be ruled out as well because 9/12 = 0.750 isn't between 0.333 and 0.667

--------------------------

Choice B works because all the decimals shown below are between 0.333 and 0.667

  • 24/48 = 0.500
  • 20/48 = 0.417 (approximate)
  • 18/48 = 0.375
  • 17/48 = 0.354 (approximate)
