Answer:

12.15

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 12.15 because you have 12, right? 3 divided by 20, gives you 15.

Another way you can use to find the answer is taking 3/20 from 12 3/20, and then 3/20 equals 15/100. As a decimal it will be 12.15

Hope this helps!

Answer:

12.15

Step-by-step explanation:

3/20 = 15/100 = 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimals are way of writing fractions which have denominators that are powers of 10

0.3 = 3/10

0.38 = 38/100

0.384 = 384/1000

etc

Find an equivalent fraction for 3/20

3/20× 5/5 = 15/ 100

This can now be written as

0.15

and the remaining whole twelve you are to add

so it would be 12.15
