Dolores spent $13.00 of the $20.00 in her wallet. Which decimal represents the fraction of the $20.00
Dolores spent?
0.35***
B 0.13
C 0.07
D 0.65
Which pair of numbers are equivalent?
A 0.5, 1/5
B 0.06, 6/10
C 7/10 , 0.07***
D 8/100 , 0.08
1.c
2.d
The reason why #2 is D is because in the decimal 0.08, the first zero is in the ones place, the second zero is in the tenths place (notice I said "ths" at the end), and the 8 is in the hundredths place. So 0.08 in word form is eight hundredths. 8/100 is basically the same thing. I hope that helped.
I think the answer is 0.65
no
no
.35 is 35% which is less than half
13/20 is greater than half
this would immediately tell me you were wrong
Now, which of the given cases is over half???
#2, surely you have a calculator!
65
The Answer is 0.35
I hope this helps!!
To find the decimal representation of the fraction Dolores spent, you can divide the amount Dolores spent ($13.00) by the total amount she had ($20.00).
So, 13.00 รท 20.00 = 0.65
Therefore, the decimal that represents the fraction of the $20.00 Dolores spent is 0.65.
For the second question, to determine which pair of numbers are equivalent, you can compare the decimal and fraction values to see if they represent the same value.
Option A: 0.5 and 1/5
If we convert 1/5 to a decimal, it becomes 0.2, which is not equivalent to 0.5. So, option A is not correct.
Option B: 0.06 and 6/10
If we simplify 6/10, we get 3/5, which is not equivalent to 0.06. So, option B is not correct.
Option C: 7/10 and 0.07
If we convert 7/10 to a decimal, it becomes 0.7, which is not equivalent to 0.07. So, option C is not correct.
Option D: 8/100 and 0.08
If we simplify 8/100, we get 1/12.5, which is not equivalent to 0.08. So, option D is not correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is none of the given options as none of them represent equivalent values.
