Question

Angela has 3 pennies. She tells her friend that she has 3/10 of a dollar. Is she correct? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

She is correct because 3/10 of 100 (a full dollar) is 0.3 which is 3 in pennies/cents. You could also do 3% of 100 which is 3 (pennies/cents)

Answer 2

She is not correct.

Is should be 3/100 (0.03 or $0.03)

I penny can be written as $0.01

3/10 is 0.3 or $0.30(which is 30 cents or three dimes)

Hope this helps!
