Question

Rewrite the following mixed number as a decimal.

8 1/100

Answer 1

8.01

Explanation:

Because 8 is a whole number, it has to be in the ones place or higher. In this case, 8 is a 1-digit number, so it is in the ones place. Second, 1/100 is the same as 0.01 because 0.1 is 1 tenth and then if the decimal point is moved one step to the right, the place value is moved to the right one time as well. So, if 8 and 0.01 are added, the final answer is 8.01.
