The decimal 0.3 represents 1/3. What type of number best describes 0.9, which is 3 times 0.3? Explain.
Answer:
\(0.9=\frac{9}{10}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that decimal number 0.3 represents \(\frac{1}{3}\)
We have to fine the number that describes best 0.9 and 3 times of 0.3
We are given that the number which descries best 0.9 is 3 times of 0.3
\(0.3=\frac{1}{3}\)
\(0.9=\frac{9}{10}\)
\(0.3=\frac{3}{10}\)
Multiply by 3 then we get
\(0.3\times 3=\frac{3}{10}\times 3\)
\(0.9=\frac{9}{10}\)
Hence, the number is \(\frac{9}{10}\) which describes best 0.9.
