Question

Tamar is thinking of a number in the hundredths.Her number is greater than 0.8 and less than 0.9. The greatest digit in the number is in the hundredths place. What number is Tamar thinking of? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the number Tamar is thinking of. So from the above question,

0.8 < t < 0.9

Note that the greatest digits in the hundreths is greater digit, and there's an "8" in the tenths, the number can described as:

0.88< x < 0.9

There is only a number in the hundredths that would fit and that is 0.89.

Therefore, t = 0.89.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is in the hundedths if it has a place value of $\frac{1}{100}$ i.e. 0.01

The number is greater than 0.8 and less than 0.9

Let x be the number

0.8<x<0.9

Since the greatest digit in the number is in the hundredths and 8<9,

The number is 0.89
