Question

The first digit after the decimal point in a number is 5. What is the value of 5 in the number?

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

Let's say the number is 1.5

1.5 = 1 + 0.5

(1.5 = 1 + 0.5)*10 ==> multiply by 10 to remove decimals

15 = 10 + 5

5 is half of 10

Hence, 0.5 is half of 1 ==> 0.5 = 1/2
