Josiah ran 4/5 mile. how many tenths are equal to 4/5 mile? use bar diagrams to find the answer.
To find 4/5 into tenths, multiply both sides by 2 (because the denominator (5) is half of 10). 4 times two is 8, so the answer would be 8/10.
Answer:
\(\frac{8}{10}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Josiah ran 4/5 mile. We are asked to find how many tenths are equal to 4/5 mile.
To solve our problem, we need to convert denominator of our given fraction to 10.
We can do it by multiplying numerator and denominator by 2 as:
\(\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{2}{2}\)
\(\frac{4\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{8}{10}\)
Therefore, 4/5 mile is equal to 8 tenths of mile.
