Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

To find : Explain why $\frac{45}{100}$ is written as decimal with a 4 in the tenths place and a 5 in the hundredths place ?

Solution :

When we write fraction as decimal we place decimal according to number of zeros in the denominator.

As $\frac{45}{100}=0.45$

According to place value system,

Ones   |    Tenths        Hundredths

   0               4                    5

As first digit to the right of decimal point is basically tenths place and second digit to the right of decimal point is basically hundredths place.

So, When we write $\frac{45}{100}$ in decimal form i.e. 0.45 then 4 in the tenths place and a 5 in the hundredths place.
