Question

Josiah ran 4/5 mile. how many tenths are equal to 4/5 mile? use bar diagrams to find the answer.

Answer 1

To find 4/5 into tenths, multiply both sides by 2 (because the denominator (5) is half of 10).  4 times two is 8, so the answer would be 8/10.

Answer 2

`(8)/(10)`

Explanation:

We have been given that Josiah ran 4/5 mile. We are asked to find how many tenths are equal to 4/5 mile.

To solve our problem, we need to convert denominator of our given fraction to 10.

We can do it by multiplying numerator and denominator by 2 as:

`(4)/(5)* (2)/(2)`

`(4* 2)/(5* 2)=(8)/(10)`

Therefore, 4/5 mile is equal to 8 tenths of mile.
