Type 1 1/3 as an SAT answer

Step by step

The question

Question: type 1 and 1/3 as an SAT answer.

1 Change the form

No mixed numbers on the SAT.

1 and 1/3 would be read as 11/3.

So we make it one fraction.

One whole is 3 thirds.

So 1 wholes are 1 × 3 = 3 thirds.

Plus 1 more: 4 thirds.

Careful!

Don't type 1 space 1/3.

The SAT reads it as 11/3.

2 Count the characters

The answer box takes 5 characters.

4/3 has 3.

It fits.

3 Type it in

We type 4/3.

As a decimal: 4 ÷ 3 is 1.333333 and more.

A decimal works too, if it fills the box: 1.3333.

Use all the room: 4 digits.

Let's look back.

First: change the form.

Then: count the characters.

Last: type it in.
