Question

Which number gives the exact value of three and seven fifteenths?

a.3.5
b.three and forty six hundredths with the six repeating
c.fifteen twenty seconds
d.346%

Answer 1

Three and seven fifteenths is represented by the decimal 3.46 with the six repeating, which corresponds to the choice b) three and forty six hundredths with the six repeating.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked which number gives the exact value of three and seven fifteenths. To represent three and seven fifteenths in decimal form, we convert the fraction 7/15 to a decimal. Since 15 goes into 70 four times with a remainder of 10, and then 15 goes into 100 six times with a remainder of 10, this pattern repeats indefinitely, giving us the decimal 0.46 with the six repeating.

Therefore, the number three and forty six hundredths with the six repeating, or 3.46 (with the six repeating), is the decimal equivalent of three and seven fifteenths.
