Question

What side length did Mr.Freeman measure the second time?

Answer 1

D. 2.33

The number that has 1/10th the value of 0.3 is 0.03.

Each place value to the left of a decimal place is 10x the value of the one closer to the decimal, and each place value to the right of a decimal is 1/10th the value of the place closer.

Answer 2

Answer:  D) 2.33 meters

==========================================================

Explanation:

The hundredths digit is 1/10 of the tenths digit. Because of this, the tenths and hundredths digit must be the same digit.

Only choice D fits the description.

The digit in the tenths place represents the value 0.3

Taking 1/10th of this leads to (1/10)*0.3 = 0.1*0.3 = 0.03

So the hundredths place represents the value 0.03

Note that,

2 + 0.3 + 0.03 = 2.33 meters
