The decimal 0.3 represents 1/3. What type of number best describes 0.9, which is 3 times 0.3? Explain.

Verified Answer :

it can be described as 9/10

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.
