Question

Shiv and his friends ate 3 1/6 pizzas. Write this amount as a decimal

which one is the answer?

Answer 1

3 and 1/6 is equal to 3 + 1/6
Use a calculator to evaluate 1/6 and add it to 3
The answer should be 3.166

Answer 2

`3(1)/(6)=3.17`

Explanation:

Shiv and his friend ate
`3(1)/(6)` pizzas.

That means he and his friends ate 3 full pizzas and a fraction of
`(1)/(6)` of one pizza.

Now we divide this fraction to get the decimal.

`(1)/(6)=0.166` ≈ 0.17

Therefore, we can represent
`3(1)/(6)=3.17` which is a form of decimal up to hundreds place.
