Question

In the number 15.2201 how does the value of 2 in the tenths place compare to the value of the 2 in the hundredths place

Answer 1

Answer:

The 2 in the hundreths is 10% of the 2 in the tenths

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the number 15.2201

#The value of 2 in the tenths:

$0.2$

#The value of 2 in the hundredths:

$0.02$

The difference of the 2 in the tenths and in the hundredths is:

$=2_t-2_h\\\\=0.2-0.02\\\\=0.18\\\\\#2_h \ as \ a \ \% \ of \ 2_t\\=\frac{2_h}{2_t}\times 100\%\\\\=\frac{0.02}{0.2}\times100\%\\\\2_h=10\% \ of\ 2_t$

Hence, the difference between the 2 in the tenths  minus 2 in the hundreths is 0.18, 2 in the hundreths is 10% the 2 in the tenths.
