Question

Renaldo will write StartFraction 3 over 20 EndFraction as a decimal. Which of the following methods should he use?

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct method will be: Multiply the fraction by StartFraction 5 over 5 EndFraction to get a denominator of 100 and then write the numerator as hundredths using a decimal point.

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Renaldo will write $\frac{3}{20}$ as a decimal.

We need to choose methods he should use.

To convert fraction into decimal we need to make denominator the multiple of 10

If we multiply 20 by 5 we get 100, so multiplying the given fraction $\frac{3}{20}$ by $\frac{5}{5}$ because we need to multiply both by numerator and denominator

So, $\frac{3}{20}\\=\frac{3}{20}\times \frac{5}{5}\\=\frac{15}{100}\\=0.15$

So, Correct method will be: Multiply the fraction by StartFraction 5 over 5 EndFraction to get a denominator of 100 and then write the numerator as hundredths using a decimal point.

Option A is correct.
