b. Maya gives you this clue: ""The decimal I am thinking of is 3 tenths greater than 80%. What is my decimal?"" Show your work.

Answer 1

Logan's decimal, being 3 hundredths less than 3 tenths, is 0.27. Maya's decimal, being 3 tenths greater than 80 percent, is 1.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Logan's "Guess my Decimal" game, his clue states that his decimal is 3 hundredths less than 3 tenths. Therefore, we can express 3 tenths as 0.3 and subtract 0.03 (which is 3 hundredths) from it to find Logan's decimal. The calculation is as follows:

0.3 - 0.03 = 0.27

Thus, Logan's decimal is 0.27.

For Maya's clue, she indicates that her decimal is 3 tenths greater than 80%. First, we convert 80% to a decimal, which is 0.8. Adding 3 tenths (0.3) to this gives us:

0.8 + 0.3 = 1.1

Therefore, Maya's decimal is 1.1.
