Question

Adele believes that 0.462 is written as "four tenths, sixty-two hundredths." Is she correct? Explain your answer. *

Answer 1

Adele is not correct.

Explanation:

The statement in itself wields an incorrect answer. However, when she states "sixty-two hundredths" it is further proven incorrect. This is because the 0.062 part of the total 0.462 would be pronounced as 62 thousandths.

Therefore, Adele is incorrect. The correct answer, however, would be: "Zero and four-hundred sixty-two thousandths."
