Question

Whats an expression so that the quotient of a decimal and a whole number is 0.04.

Answer 1

4/100 = 1/25

Explanation:

0.04 has two decimal places to the left so is hundredth that is 4/100

if we reduce 4/100 to its simplest form = 1/25

Answer 2

0.04 can be written as
`(1)/(25)`

Explanation:

We have given the the quotient as 0.04

We have to write the expression which gives the quotient as 0.04

We know that 0.04 can be written as
`4* 10^(-2)`

We know that
`10^(-2)=(1)/(100)`

So
`4*  10^(-2)=(4)/(100)=(1)/(25)`

So 0.04 as quotient can be written as expression
`(1)/(25)` which has same value as 0.04
