2. Which decimal is equivalent to the fraction 1/10?

Explanation

The fraction 1/10 represents one part of ten equal parts, which can be expressed as a decimal. Dividing 1 by 10 yields 0.1, indicating that 0.1 is the decimal equivalent of the fraction 1/10. Other options do not represent this value accurately.

3. Write the decimal for five and three tenths.

Explanation

Five and three tenths is expressed in decimal form by placing the whole number five before the decimal point and three tenths after it. This means that there are five whole units and three tenths of an additional unit, which is represented as 5.3.

Submit

4. Which number is larger: 2.5 or 2.05?

Explanation

2.5 is larger than 2.05 because when comparing decimal numbers, the whole number part is considered first. Here, 2.5 has a whole number of 2, which is the same as 2.05, but the decimal part (5 vs. 05) shows that 2.5 is greater. Thus, 2.5 is the larger number.

Submit

5. What is 0.6 + 0.3?

Explanation

Adding 0.6 and 0.3 involves simple decimal addition. Aligning the numbers, 0.6 plus 0.3 equals 0.9. This calculation can also be visualized as combining six-tenths and three-tenths, resulting in nine-tenths, which is represented as 0.9 in decimal form.

Submit

6. In 8.92, the digit 9 represents how many tenths?

Explanation

In the number 8.92, the digit 9 is in the tenths place, which signifies that it represents 9 tenths. This means it contributes 0.9 to the overall value of the number, indicating that there are 9 parts out of 10 in the decimal system.

Submit

7. Order these decimals from smallest to largest: 1.2, 1.02, 1.20

Explanation

To order the decimals from smallest to largest, compare their values. 1.02 is less than 1.2 and 1.20, as the first two digits are smaller. Both 1.2 and 1.20 represent the same value, but 1.20 is written with an extra zero, making it larger in terms of decimal places. Thus, the correct order is 1.02, 1.2, 1.20.

Submit

8. What is 1.5 − 0.7?

Explanation

To solve 1.5 − 0.7, you subtract 0.7 from 1.5. When you perform the subtraction, you find that 1.5 minus 0.7 equals 0.8. This calculation shows the difference between the two numbers, confirming that 0.8 is the correct result.

Submit

9. The decimal 0.25 is equal to which fraction?

Explanation

0.25 can be expressed as a fraction by recognizing that it represents 25 hundredths, or 25/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 yields 1/4. Thus, 0.25 is equivalent to the fraction 1/4.

Submit

10. How many hundredths are in 0.45?

Explanation

To find how many hundredths are in 0.45, recognize that 0.45 is equivalent to 45 hundredths. This is because the decimal 0.45 can be expressed as 45/100, indicating that there are 45 parts out of 100, thus confirming that there are 45 hundredths in 0.45.

Submit

11. What is 2.3 × 2?

Explanation

To find the product of 2.3 and 2, you multiply the two numbers together. Calculating 2.3 × 2 gives 4.6, which is the result of doubling 2.3. Thus, the answer is 4.6.

Submit
