Question: 248
9. Joanne owns one-third of the pieces of furniture in the apartment she shares with her friends. If there are 12 pieces of furniture in the apartment, how many pieces does Joanne own?
- A. 2
- B. 4
- C. 6
- D. 8
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B Use PITA since the question is asking for a specific value and there are real numbers in the choices. The question asks for Joanne's portion of the furniture, which is one-third of the total. Start with (C): 6 × 3 = 18, which is too large. Eliminate (C) and (D). Try (B): 4 × 3 = 12, which works. The correct answer is (B).
