Answer 2

Answer:
`(231)/(1000)=0.231`

`(2)/(10)+(3)/(100)+(1)/(1000)`

two and thirty one thousandths are the required expressions.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 10

Weight of each coin = Two hundred thirty one thousands of an ounce.

So, Weight of ten coins would be

`(231)/(1000)\\\\=0.231`

Or it can written as

`(2)/(10)+(3)/(100)+(1)/(1000)`

or it can be written as

two and thirty one thousandths.

Hence
`(231)/(1000)=0.231`

`(2)/(10)+(3)/(100)+(1)/(1000)`

two and thirty one thousandths are the required expressions.
