Isn't it C?

1/3 = .33
1/4 = .25

The only answer between that is C, .29.

Hi All,

This question is just about converting math from one 'format' to another. The GMAT will ask you to do this on a handful of questions (usually involving 'unit conversions' - converting minutes to seconds, for example or in ratio questions - converting fractions to decimals or percents). Certain questions won't require this knowledge, BUT will be based on a shortcut that you can take advantage of IF you have your fraction-to-decimal conversions memorized. This is all meant to say that knowing what each of the fractions from 1/2 to 1/11 are as decimals can help you to answer a few questions faster on Test Day and will be essential to answering a couple of others. Anyone with a pacing issue in the Quant section could benefit quite a bit from having that knowledge.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Decimal equivalent of $$\frac{1}{3}$$ is 0.3333

Decimal equivalent of $$\frac{1}{4}$$ is 0.25

Basically we have to find a value that lies between 0.25 and 0.3333
That value is option C
Correct option - C
