Answer:

Explanation:

From the problem statement:

"I am less than one-half"

This means that the number is less than
(1)/(2), or 0.50

"but greater than four tenths"

This means that the number is greater than
(4)/(10), or 0.40

"I am a decimal with the digit 2 in my hundredths place"

This means that the number follows the format 0.x2, so we just need to figure out what x is. We know that the number is between 0.40 and 0.50, so the number in this case would be 0.42
