Step by step
The question
Question: type 5/11 as an SAT answer.
511
1 Count the characters
The answer box takes 5 characters.
5/11 has 4.
It fits.
5/11: 4 characters, up to 5 fit
2 Type it in
We type 5/11.
As a decimal: 5 ÷ 11 is 0.454545 and more.
5 ÷ 11 = 0.454545…
A decimal works too, if it fills the box: .4545.
Use all the room: 4 digits.
.4545 also OK
Careful!
Not .45.
It uses only 2 digits, and the box has room for 4.
That is marked wrong.
Careful: not .45 ✗
Let's look back.
First: count the characters.
Last: type it in.
Answer
.4545 also OK
