What is 0.4 as a simplified fraction
1 answer:
Answer: 2/5
Step-by-step explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.4 is four tenths, so we can write 0.4 as the fraction 4/10.
Notice however that 4/10 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 4 and 10 which is 2.
So if we divide the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get the equivalent fraction 2/5.
Therefore, 0.4 can be written as the fraction 2/5 which is in lowest terms.

Answer: Mckenzie is correct
<em>I had to reformat this section with the way it was typed, please let me know if I did anything wrong.</em>
<u>Mckenzie's Work</u>
a² + b² = c²
25 + 169 = c²
194 = c²
Square root 194 equals square root c squared.
c ≈ 13.93
<u>Cara's Work</u>
a² + b² = c²
25 + b² = 169
b² = 144
Square root b squared equals square root 144.
b ≈ 12
[] Right away we can tell that <u>Cara is not correct.</u>
-> Cara solves for b. We already have a b value, we need to solve for "c" in the equation.
[] Now let's look at Mckenzie.
-> Mckenzie does solve for the right variable, so let's see if she did it correctly.
-> First, she sets is up using a² + b² = c² since this is a right triangle. Next, she squares 5 to 25 and 13 to 169. Both correct.
-> Now they are added together. 25 + 169 do equal 194 so this looks correct.
-> Last, we square both sides. ≈ 13.928388 which rounds to 13.93, so it looks like <u>Mckenzie is correct</u>.
