Question

What is #14 written as a decimal, explain your thinking.

Answer 1

10*3=30. Next, you add 30+3 which gives you 33. Then divide 33/10 which will give you 3.3. Move the decimal place to the left.

Answer 2

The answer is 3.3. This is because the mixed number can be turned into 33/10, after which, you can simply divide the two numbers (33 and 10). Since 33 is being divided by 10, all that is need is to move the decimal space (since 33 can be 33.0) forward one space to result in 3.30. 3.30 can also be written as a 3.3 due to the 0 having no value.
