GRE Numeric Entry

The numeric entry questions require you to place the answer to the question into a single answer box or as a fraction into two separate boxes — one for the numerator and one for the denominator — using the computer mouse and keyboard. The scope of the numeric entry questions is similar to the type of questions that you'll be given for quantitative comparison and problem solving questions, but you are not provided with a list of choices from which to select the answer.

Example 1: In the figure above, what is x+y?		In providing the answer, you must calculate the value of x and y to arrive at x=3 and y=6, and so x+y=9, and input the 9 into the box. When providing the answer to a single entry math question, be sure to follow the directions exactly. In most cases, the answer that you'll be asked to provide will be in the form of an integer. So, for example, if you are given a word problem and you are asked to find the percentage of apples in a bucket, and you calculate the answer to 32 percent, you'll need to enter "32", and NOT "32.0" or "32%" or "0.32".
Example 2: What is three-fourths times twelve-sixths?		In providing the answer, you must calculate the value of three-fourths times twelve-sixths and arrive at 36/24, and you must enter the numerator and denominator into the provided boxes. Notice that you do not have to reduce your fraction -- you can enter 36/24, or 18/12, or 9/6, etc.
