Answer 1

Explanation:

Given the decimal value 588.55

The ones digit value is 8

The tens digits value is 80

Taking the ratio

The ones digits/the tens digits = 8/80

The ones digits/the tens digits = 1/10

The ones digits = 1/10 * the tens digits '

Hence the value of the ones digit is 1/10 of the value of the tens digit.

Option C is correct
