Question

lets play \which one is it?\
choose the correct way to write \\(\frac{1}{10}\\) of a dollar.
$0.05 $0.10

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the fraction

We know that \(\frac{1}{10}\) of a dollar needs to be converted to decimal. Since 1 dollar is 100 cents, but also, \(\frac{1}{10}\) of 1 (dollar) in decimal is calculated as \(1\times\frac{1}{10} = 0.1\) dollars.

Step2: Compare with options

The first option is \(\$0.05\) (which is \(\frac{1}{20}\) of a dollar) and the second is \(\$0.10\) (which is \(\frac{1}{10}\) of a dollar as \(0.1=\frac{1}{10}\)).

Answer:

\$0.10
