Question

What fraction in simplest form is equivalent to 0.45 what decimal is equivalent to 17/20 explain how you found your answer

Answer 1

a) 9/20

b) 0.85

Explanation:

a) Put 45 over 100 then simplify. I divided both numbers by 5 to get my answer.

b) Divide 17 by 20 to get 0.85.

Answer 2

Answer: Our required values are
`(9)/(20)\ and\ 0.85` respectively.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

0.45

We need to rewritten in fraction as simplest form:

So, it would be rewritten as

`(45)/(100)=(9)/(20)`

Similarly,

`(17)/(20)`

We need to rewritten in decimals.

So, it would be rewritten as

`(17* 5)/(20* 5)=(85)/(100)=0.85`

Hence, our required values are
`(9)/(20)\ and\ 0.85` respectively.
