Question

What is 0.002 one tenth of.

Answer 1

let's say is "x".

so, "x" is the whole or 10/10 whilst 0.002 is 1/10 then, let's check


`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&fraction\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 0.002&(1)/(10)\\\\ x&(10)/(10) \end{array}\implies \cfrac{0.002}{x}=\cfrac{(1)/(10)}{(10)/(10)}\implies \cfrac{0.002}{x}=\cfrac{(1)/(10)}{1} \\\\\\ \cfrac{0.002}{x}=\cfrac{1}{10}\implies \cfrac{0.002\cdot 10}{1}=x`
