Question

A coach ordered 20 practice jerseys for her soccer team. Six of the jerseys she ordered arrived late. What decimal represents the fraction of jerseys that arrived late?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.3

Explanation:

There are 20 practice jerseys in total.

Six of those 20 jerseys arrived late.

The fraction of jerseys that arrived late is therefore:

= 6 / 20 jerseys

Convert them to decimal form by dividing the numerator with the denominator:

= 6 ÷ 20

= 0.3
