If x is the median of the set {8/2, 11/3, 27/9, 21/5, x}, x could be
Answers:
A) 4 B) 17/5 C) 16/5 D) 30/7 E) 31/7
The median is the middle number once all the numbers are arranged in increasing/decreasing order.   We see that   11/3 = 3.something,   28/9 = 3.something   21/5 = 4.something   9/2 = 4.something   So x should greater than the smallest two numbers and smaller than the greatest two numbers. We can see that x = 4 is possible. (First look at the simplest option or the middle option since options are usually arranged in increasing/decreasing order)   4nswer (4)
