Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{231}{1000}=0.231$

$\dfrac{2}{10}+\dfrac{3}{100}+\dfrac{1}{1000}$

two and thirty one thousandths are the required expressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 10

Weight of each coin = Two hundred thirty one thousands of an ounce.

So, Weight of ten coins would be

$\dfrac{231}{1000}\\\\=0.231$

Or it can written as

$\dfrac{2}{10}+\dfrac{3}{100}+\dfrac{1}{1000}$

or it can be written as

two and thirty one thousandths.

Hence $\dfrac{231}{1000}=0.231$

$\dfrac{2}{10}+\dfrac{3}{100}+\dfrac{1}{1000}$

two and thirty one thousandths are the required expressions.
