Prep一道题，有歧义。

saven

What is the value of n?(1) n is between 0 and 1.
(2)7/16 is 3/8 more than n.


答案是B


但是我觉得，B中，7/16是比n 多3/8呢，还是3/8倍，这个没说清楚啊。

原题表述没有问题，应该只有一种理解吧

larkspur

直接由b可知n=7/16  -  3/8 =1/16.
这个应该没有歧义吧，祝楼主考试顺利

如果是3/8倍 应该这样表达7/16 is 3/8 times more than n

What is the value of n?(1) n is between 0 and 1.
(2)7/16 is 3/8 more than n.


答案是B


但是我觉得，B中，7/16是比n 多3/8呢，还是3/8倍，这个没说清楚啊。

因为我以前做个这样一道题

when a certain tree was first planted, it was 4 feet, and the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year for the next 6 year. At the end of the 6tn year, the tree was 1/5 taller than it was at the end of the 4th year. By how many feet did the height of the tree increase each year?


the answer is 2/3.


这里很明先是指多长了1/5倍。

谢谢。也祝你顺利。顺便请看4楼的疑问。
