Question

a fraction is shown. which decimal represents the fraction? \\(\frac{7}{10}\\) a 0.77 b 0.7 c 7.0 d 0.07

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction to decimal conversion

To convert a fraction \(\frac{a}{b}\) to a decimal, divide \(a\) by \(b\). For \(\frac{7}{10}\), divide \(7\) by \(10\).

Step2: Perform the division

Dividing \(7\) by \(10\) (i.e., \(7\div10\)) moves the decimal point one place to the left (since dividing by \(10\) shifts the decimal), so \(7\div10 = 0.7\).

Answer:

B. 0.7
