Question

write each statement as a decimal to two decimal places. (i)$6.00 to 95 cents (ii) 3 hours to 35 minutes (iii) 42 inches to 2 feet

Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

1) $6.00 to 95 cents

$1 = 100 cents

`\$6.00=\$6.00*(100\ cent)/(\$) =600\ cent\\\\\$6\ to\ 95\ cent=(\$6)/(95\ cent) = (600\ cent)/(95\ cent) = 6.32\ to\ 2\ decimal\ places`

2) 3 hours to 35 minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

`3\ hr=3\ hr*(60\ minute)/(1\ hr) =180\ minte\\\\3\ hr\ to\ 35\ minute=(3\ hr)/(35\ minute) = (180\ minute)/(35\ minute) = 5.14\ to\ 2\ decimal\ places`

3) 42 inches to 2 feet

1 inches = 0.0833 ft

`42\ inch=42\ inch*(0.0833\ feet)/(1\ inch) =3.5\ feet\\\\42\ inch\ to\ 2\ feet=(42\ inch)/(2\ feet) = (3.5\ feet)/(2\ feet) = 1.75\ to\ 2\ decimal\ places`
