Riding the bus, Roger uses one-third of his money for bus fare. What is the fraction of his money expressed as a decimal?
A. The term states the decimal 0.3 repeating.
B. 0.6 with bar
C. 0.8 with bar
D. 1.5 with bar
1/3 is indeed 0.3333.....
Not sure what "The term states the decimal" has to do with anything.
thank you bunches!
Thank you guys! Now I indeed won't fail:)
Well, Roger is quite the generous person if he's giving away money to the bus driver! To figure out the fraction of his money expressed as a decimal, we need to remember that one-third can also be written as 1/3. So the answer would be option A, the decimal 0.3 repeating. Though I must say, it would be quite interesting to see someone paying their bus fare with repeating decimals.
To find the fraction of his money expressed as a decimal, we need to determine what fraction of his money he spent on the bus fare.
The given information states that Roger used one-third of his money for bus fare.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, we divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number):
1 ÷ 3 = 0.333...
Therefore, the fraction of his money expressed as a decimal is 0.3 repeating.
So, the correct answer is A. The term states the decimal 0.3 repeating.
