Question

Annie says 1.2 is equivalent to 1 whole and 2 tenths. Dexter says 1.2 is equivalent to 12 tenths. Who is corrected?

Answer 1

Both of them are correct

Explanation:

1.2 as 1 whole and 2 tenths

= 1 + 2/10

= 1 + 0.2

= 1.2

Also, 12 tenths

= 12/10

= 1.2

Hence Annie and Dexter are right with their answers.
