The question

Question: type 2/3 as an SAT answer.

23

1 Count the characters

The answer box takes 5 characters.

2/3 has 3.

It fits.

2/3: 3 characters, up to 5 fit

2 Type it in

We type 2/3.

As a decimal: 2 ÷ 3 is 0.666666 and more.

2 ÷ 3 = 0.666666…

A decimal works too, if it fills the box.

Cut it after 4 digits: .6666.

Or round it: .6667.

Both are OK.

.6666 or .6667 also OK

Careful!

Not .67.

It uses only 2 digits, and the box has room for 4.

That is marked wrong.

Careful: not .67 ✗

Let's look back.

First: count the characters.

Last: type it in.

Answer
.6666 or .6667 also OK
