Question

Henry is making a recipe for biscuits. A recipe calls for 5/10 kg and 9/100 kg. How can u write your answer as a decimal?

Answer 1

If you combine the two, you will have 59/100 kg. 59/100 can be said as fifty-nine hundredths. The decimal is 0.59. EXPLANATION: The last digit in 59 (is 9) so you would keep the decimal under 1. Since 59/100 is known as fifty-nine hundredths, the nine is in the hundredths place with the 5 in the tenths. 0.59 under 1 and is equivalent with 59/100.
