Answer 1

Decimal represents the number of people who earned a perfect score is 0.009 .

Explanation:

As given

At a county fair, 9 people out of 1,000 earned a perfect score in a carnival game.

`Number\ of\ people\ who\ earned\ a\ perfect\ score = (People\ who\ earned\ perfect\ score)/(Total\ number\ people)`

people who earned a perfect score = 9

Total number of people = 1000

Put in the above

`Number\ of\ people\ who\ earned\ a\ perfect\ score = (9)/(1000)`

Number of people who earned a perfect score = 0.009

Therefore decimal represents the number of people who earned a perfect score is 0.009 .
