What number is one tenth of the number 0.9

Mathematics

Alja [10]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we can write 0.9 as a fraction. Reading this, we would say "nine tenths"; this means the number in fraction form is 9/10.

The word "of" in mathematics means we multiply. Thus when we take 1/10 "of" 9/10, we multiply the two:

1/10(9/10)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators:

1/10(9/10) = (1*9)/(10*10) = 9/100

Converting this back to a decimal, we read 9/100 as "nine one-hundredths"; this means decimal form is 0.09.

Natalia solved the problem 74.4/12=6.2. complete the model with partial products check Natalia's work using multiplication

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Natalia's work is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalia divided a decimal number by an entire number. Since division is a operation derived from multiplication, the best approach to check if work was good is multiplying the given result by denomination, that is:

1) $x = 6.2\times 12$ Given.

2) $x = \left(6+0.2\right)\times 12$ Definition of addition.

3) $x = 6\times 12 + 0.2\times 12$ Distributive property.

4) $x = 72 + \frac{2}{10}\times 12$ Definitions of multiplication and decimal number.

5) $x = 72 +[2\cdot (10)^{-1}]\cdot 12$ Definition of division/Associative property.

6) $x = 72 + [2\cdot 12]\cdot (10)^{-1}$ Associative property.

7) $x = 72 + 24\cdot 10^{-1}$ Definition of multiplication.

8) $x = 72 + \frac{24}{10}$ Definition of divsion.

9) $x = 72 + 2.4$ Defintion of decimal number.

10) $x = 74.4$ Definition of addition/Result

Natalia's work is wrong.

Exactly 1 1/3 yard of ribbon is needed to make a bow. Which of the following lengths of ribbon could be used to make a bow with

svp [43]

Answer:

1 and 2/5 yards wastes only 1/15 a yard

Step-by-step explanation:

1 and 1/6 yards would make a waste of 1 and 1/6 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)

1 and 2/10 yards would make a waste of 1 and 1/5 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)

1 and 2/5 yards

$1\frac{2}{5} -1\frac{1}{3} =\\\\1\frac{6}{15} -1\frac{5}{15} =\\\\\frac{1}{15}$

Wastes 1/15 a yard.

1 and 1/2 yards

$1\frac{1}{2} -1\frac{1}{3} =\\\\1\frac{3}{6} -1\frac{2}{6} =\\\\\frac{1}{6}$

It wastes 1/6 a yard.

2 yards

$2-1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2}{3}$

It wastes 4/6 a yard.
