Number Properties

For questions in the Quantitative Comparison format (“Quantity A” and “Quantity B” given), the
answer choices are always as follows:

(A) Quantity A is greater.

(B) Quantity B is greater.
(C) The two quantities are equal.
(D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

For questions followed by a numeric entry box , you are to enter your own answer in the

box. For questions followed by fraction-style numeric entry boxes , you are to enter
your answer in the form of a fraction. You are not required to reduce fractions. For example, if the
answer is 1/4, you may enter 25/100 or any equivalent fraction.

All numbers used are real numbers. All figures are assumed to lie in a plane unless otherwise
indicated. Geometric figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. You should assume, however, that
lines that appear to be straight are actually straight, points on a line are in the order shown, and all
geometric objects are in the relative positions shown. Coordinate systems, such as xy-planes and
number lines, as well as graphical data presentations such as bar charts, circle graphs, and line graphs,
are drawn to scale. A symbol that appears more than once in a question has the same meaning
throughout the question.
