fractions in simplist form.

Answer 1

A Japanese beetle’s length are equals to

=> 0.3 inches

=> 0.5 inches

Now let’s find the length that is between the span of the two given length:

But before that let’s convert the 2 given numbers in decimal points to fraction:

=> 0.3 = 3/10

=> 0.5 = 5/10

Find the fraction between the given 2 numbers:

=> 0.3

=> 0.4

=> 0.5

Therefore the number we are looking 0.4

=> 0.4 = 4/10

Now, we have the complete length of Japanese beetles, the 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5

Hope this helps
