Explanation:

The above given statements can be written as decimals by first writing both quantities in a statement in the same unit.

1. $6.00 to 95 cents:

This is same as $6.00 : 95 cents = \frac{6.00}{95}956.00

Convert $6 .00 to cents to make both quantities be in the same unit.

$1 = 100 cents

$6.00 = 6*100 = 600 cents

\frac{600}{95} = 6.3295600=6.32 (to 2 d.p)

2. 3 hours to 35 minutes:

Convert 3 hours to 35 mins

1 hr = 60 mins

3 hrs = 3*60 = 180 mins

180mins : 35 mins = \frac{180}{35} = 5.14180mins:35mins=35180=5.14 (2 d.p)

3. 42 inches to 2 feet:

Convert 2 ft to inches

1 ft = 12 inches

2ft = 2*12 = 24 inches

42 in:24 in = \frac{42}{24} = 1.7542in:24in=2442=1.75
