Praxis 5003 Practice Question

Which of the following is greatest?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To determine which option is greatest, we can convert all values to a common decimal format.

A: 245 thousandths equals 0.245.
B: 24 hundredths equals 0.24.
C: 3 tenths equals 0.3.
D: 2 fifths equals 0.4 (since 2 divided by 5 equals 0.4).

Comparing these values, 0.4 (2 fifths) is greater than 0.3 (3 tenths), 0.24 (24 hundredths), and 0.245 (245 thousandths).

Thus, D stands out as the largest value, while A, B, and C are all less than D.
