Fraction Conversions
1. **Convert 0.14 to a fraction and match options**
0.14 as a fraction is $$ \frac{14}{100} = \frac{7}{50} $$ which does not exactly match any option. Let's check each option by decimal conversion:
(a) $$ \frac{11}{90} \approx 0.1222 $$
(b) $$ \frac{13}{90} \approx 0.1444 $$
(c) $$ \frac{17}{99} \approx 0.1717 $$
(d) $$ \frac{19}{9} \approx 2.1111 $$
Closest is (b) 13/90 for 0.14 but slightly off; likely (b) is intended.
2. **Convert 0.752 to a fraction and match options**
Try representing 0.752 as a fraction with denominator close to options:
Option (a) $$ \frac{677}{990} \approx 0.6838 $$
Option (b) $$ \frac{677}{900} \approx 0.7522 $$
Option (c) $$ \frac{752}{900} = \frac{376}{450} = \frac{188}{225} \approx 0.8377 $$
Option (d) $$ \frac{752}{999} \approx 0.75275 $$
Closest decimal to 0.752 is (b) 677/900 or (d) 752/999. (b) = 0.7522 is very close.
3. **Convert 5.27 to fraction and select option**
Change 5.27 to an improper fraction to check options:
Multiply fractional parts: decimals are with denominator 100, so $$ 5.27 = \frac{527}{100} $$
Options:
(a) $$ \frac{57}{11} \approx 5.1818 $$
(b) $$ \frac{58}{11} \approx 5.2727 $$
(c) $$ \frac{59}{11} \approx 5.3636 $$
(d) $$ \frac{60}{11} \approx 5.4545 $$
Closest match is (b) $$ \frac{58}{11} $$.
4. **Find n such that 83216.5 = 8.32165 \times 10^n**
Move decimal from 83216.5 to 8.32165:
Since $$8.32165 \times 10^4 = 83216.5 $$
So, $$ n = 4 $$
Answers (a) or (b) show 4, so n = 4.
5. **Find smallest multiplier for 1575 to be a perfect square**
Prime factorize 1575:
$$ 1575 = 3^2 \times 5^2 \times 7 $$
To make it perfect square, multiply by $$7$$ to make $$7^2$$:
Smallest number = 7.
**Final answers:**
1. (b) 13/90
2. (b) 677/900
3. (b) 58/11
4. (a) 4
5. 7 (not from options but mathematical answer)
