Answer: 1.875 days

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simple have to divide the total day of the month (30 days) by the number of days that she offers tutoring (16).

Mathematically speaking:

30 /16 =1.875 days

1.875 days is equivalent to the fraction of days that tutoring was offered in November

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer:0.533

Explanation:

Sam's mathematics teacher offered after school tutoring 16 days out of the 30 days that were in November in order to help students review for the mid-term exam.

To convert this to a decimal, we divide the number of days tutorial was offered in November by the number of days in November. This will be:

= 16/30

= 0.533

The decimal that is equivalent to the fraction is 0.533.
