A Japanese beetle has a length between 0.3 and 0.5 inch. Find two lengths that are within the given span. Write them as fractions in simplest form.

2/5 and 9/20 is what I think the answer is.

well i think 4/10 = 2/5

0.35 = 35/100 = 7/20

0.4 = 4/10 = 2/5
0.42 = 42/100 = 21/50

0.3 -> 3/10

0.5 -> 5/10

That is what my class got.

well sense the 3 and 5 are in the tenths place they will become 30 and 50 so you need to find 2 numbers that are between 30 and 50. then you need to put that as a decimal. then make it a fraction. last but not least, put that in simplest form and that is your answer.

example:
STEP 1
40 and 45

STEP 2
.40 and .45

STEP 3
40/100 and 45/100

STEP 4
2/5 and 7/20

It seems there is a lot of answers to this question 8n fact I have it for hw and I’m very confused does anyone know the actual answer that everyone can find?

I am also confused on this problem, but teacher, LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!!!!!!

No

The answer is 2/5 and 9/20... but I have no idea how. If someone could explain this to me it would be great.

RHHHHHH IM STRUGLING
