Type 10 2/3 as an SAT answer

Step by step

The question

Question: type 10 and 2/3 as an SAT answer.

1 Change the form

No mixed numbers on the SAT.

10 and 2/3 would be read as 102/3.

So we make it one fraction.

One whole is 3 thirds.

So 10 wholes are 10 × 3 = 30 thirds.

Plus 2 more: 32 thirds.

Careful!

Don't type 10 space 2/3.

The SAT reads it as 102/3.

2 Count the characters

The answer box takes 5 characters.

32/3 has 4.

It fits.

3 Type it in

We type 32/3.

As a decimal: 32 ÷ 3 is 10.666666 and more.

A decimal works too, if it fills the box.

Cut it after 4 digits: 10.6666.

Or round it: 10.6667.

Both are OK.

Let's look back.

First: change the form.

Then: count the characters.

Last: type it in.
