Answer:

0.95

Explanation:

Let's convert this into a fraction that has a denominator of 100. In order to do so, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator both by 5 (because 20 * 5 = 100):


(19)/(20)* (5)/(5) =(95)/(100)

So, we have 95/100, which is technically 95 divided by 100. Whenever we divide something by a power of 10, like
10^n, where n is any integer, we move the decimal point of the dividend n places to the left.

Here, we have 100, which is
10^2, so we want to move the decimal point of 95 (which equals 95.0) 2 places to the left:

0.95

Hope this helps!
