Question

Let us consider the following rational numbers:

(i) 0.375 (ii) 1.04 (iii) 0.0875 (iv) 12.5

Answer 1

(i) \(0.375 = \frac{375}{1000}\)

\(= \frac{375}{10^3}\)

(ii) \(1.04 = \frac{104}{100}\)

\(= \frac{104}{10^2}\)

(iii) \(0.0875 =\frac{875}{10000}\)

\(=\frac{875}{10^4}\)

(iv) \(12.5 = \frac{125}{10}\)

\(= \frac{125}{10^1}\)
