GRE- Quantitative Reasoning
B. The quantity in Column B is greater;
C. The quantities are equal;
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer(s): C
Explanation: There's no need to calculate either quantity, and you can cancel the product st
from both columns. To make the comparison, observe the place-value shifts from the decimal
number 9.3. In Column A, the decimal point shifts 3 places left (9,300) and 3 places right
(.0093), so the quantity is equivalent to (9.3) (9.3). You can now see that Quantity B, which is
(9.3)(9.3), is the same as Quantity A.

QUESTION: 8

A farmer wants to fence a rectangular horse corral with an area of 12,000 square feet. Fence
posts along each side will be 10 feet apart at their center.

A. The quantity in Column A is greater;
B. The quantity in Column B is greater;
C. The quantities are equal;
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer(s): B
Explanation: There's no need to calculate either quantity. Given an area of 12,000 square feet,
the shortest possible rectangular perimeter is achieved with a square, in which all sides are the
same length. Column B describes a corral with a width of 300 feet and a length of 400 feet. This
corral would require more fence posts than a square corral.

QUESTION: 9
