Answer 1

`0.2`

Explanation:

We have been given that at a grocery store, you want to buy 3 1/5 pound of ham. We are asked to find the decimal that the digital scale will show.

3 1/5 pound = 3 pounds + 1/5 pound

`(1)/(5)=0.2`

`3(1)/(5)=3.2`

Therefore, the digital scale will show
`0.2` as a decimal.
