Question

Write the number 3.8 in the forum of a/b using integers to show that it is a rational number

Answer 1

ANSWER

$\frac{38}{10}$

EXPLANATION

We want to write
$3.8$

in the form
$\frac{a}{b}$

We multiply the numerator by multiples of 10 until we get an integer(the least integer) and then divide by the same value we multiplied with.

This implies that,

$3.8 = \frac{3. 8\times 10}{10} = \frac{38}{10}$

We have $a=38$ and
$b=10$
Therefore the correct answer is B.

Answer 2

The answer is b. 38 divided by 10 equals 3.8
