Write each of the following as decimals:
(a) 5/10
(b) 3 + 7/10
(c) 200 + 60 + 5 + 1/10
(d) 70 + 8/10
(e) 88/10
(f) \(4\dfrac{2}{10}\)
(g) 3/2
(h) 2/5
(i) 12/5
(j) \(3\dfrac{3}{5}\)
(k) \(4\dfrac{1}{2}\)

Solution:

We use the concepts of fractions and decimals to write the given numbers as decimals.

As given in the question, the fractions can be converted into decimals as follows:

Fractions (Given)

Decimal Value

5/10

0.5

3 + 7/10

3 + 0.7 = 3.7

200 + 60 + 5 + 1/10

265 + 0.1 = 265.1

70 + 8/10

70 + 0.8 = 70.8

88/10

8.8

\(4\dfrac{2}{10}\)

4 + 0.2 = 4.2

3/2

3/2 = (3×5)/(2×5) = 15/10 = 1.5

2/5

2/5 = (2×2)/(5×2) = 4/10 = 0.4

12/5

12/5 = (12×2)/(5×2) = 24/10 = 2.4

\(3\dfrac{3}{5}\)

3 + 3/5 = 3 + (3×2)/(5×2) = 3 + 6/10 = 3 + 0.6 = 3.6

\(4\dfrac{1}{2}\)

4 + 1/2 = 4 + (1×5)/(2×5) = 4 + 5/10 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5
