Question

Write the length of each insect as a fraction or a mixed number and as a decimal

Answer 1

Answer:

14.90/100 and .90       15. 1 15/100 and 1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

each tick equals 10 centimeters so the first one is .90 and the second one is 1.15

Answer 2

Answer:

15. The length of the insect = $\frac{7}{8}$  inches

The length of the insect in decimal = 0.875 inches

16. The length of the insect =  $1\frac{1}{16}$ inches

The length of the insect in decimal = 1.0625 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the length of the insects in inches scale.

The scale 1 inch divided by 16 equal intervals. (Count the number of small lines between 0 to 1 inch)

14) The insect covers 14 equal parts out of 16 equal parts.

The length of the insect = $\frac{14}{16}$ inches

We can simplify the fraction $\frac{14}{16}$  by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2.

= $\frac{\frac{14}{2} }{\frac{16}{2} } = \frac{7}{8}$ inches

Now let's convert the fraction $\frac{7}{8}$ to decimal by division.

Dividing 7 by 8, we get

$\frac{7}{8} = 0.875 inches$

15) Here the insect is more than 1 inches. So the length of the insect is a mixed number.

The length of the insect = $1\frac{1}{16}$ inches

Now let's convert this to decimal.

Divided the fraction part $\frac{1}{16}$ and add 1

$\frac{1}{16} = 0.0625$

So, $1\frac{1}{16}$  = 1 + 0.0625 = 1.0625 inches
