Question

Of the following, which is least?

• A. \(\frac{0.03}{0.00071}\)
• B. \(\frac{0.03}{0.0071}\)
• C. \(\frac{0.03}{0.071}\)
• D. \(\frac{0.03}{7.1}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Compute each option:
- \( \frac{0.03}{0.00071} \approx 42.25 \)
- \( \frac{0.03}{0.0071} \approx 4.23 \)
- \( \frac{0.03}{0.071} \approx 0.423 \)
- \( \frac{0.03}{7.1} \approx 0.00423 \)

The least value is \( 0.00423 \), which corresponds to option (D).
To compare fractions, divide the numerator by the denominator and identify the smallest value.
