Can 160/12 be written as 13*1/3. Please help. I am referring to GMAT official guide review 2015. 5.5 problem solving question 16.

Hi,
Am not sure of the actual problem but
160/12 = 40/3 = 13(1/3) (this is mixed fraction)or 13 + (1/3) but not 13*1/3
Hope it helps!

Hi shaikden,
The correct answer to GMAT Quant questions tends to be written in its "reduced" form, but the 'format' of the answer can vary. So you need to be able to combined "like" terms, reduce fractions, etc.
To score at a high level in the Quant, you need to be flexible enough to convert data from one format to another. This skill can also help you to do any required math in an easier way since certain calculations are easier when using decimals or fractions.
Consider the following example:
7/5 = 1.4
How long would it take you to calculate (7/5)^2 vs. (1.4)^2?
