Explanation:

Question 96

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

To convert the fraction \(\frac{3}{25}\) to a decimal, we perform the division \(3 \div 25\).
\(3\div25 = 0.12\)

Step2: Round to nearest tenth (if needed)

The number \(0.12\) to the nearest tenth: look at the hundredth place (2), which is less than 5, so we keep the tenths place as is. So \(0.12\approx0.1\)? Wait, no, wait: \(0.12\) - the tenths digit is 1, hundredths is 2. Wait, no, actually, when rounding to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredth digit. For \(0.12\), hundredth digit is 2, which is less than 5, so we round down. But wait, \(3\div25 = 0.12\), and to the nearest tenth, it's \(0.1\)? Wait, no, 0.12 is 0.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, 0.12: the tenths place is 1, hundredths is 2. So yes, because 2 < 5, we round to 0.1? Wait, no, wait, 0.12 is closer to 0.1 than 0.2? Wait, 0.12 - 0.1 = 0.02, 0.2 - 0.12 = 0.08. So yes, closer to 0.1. But wait, actually, 3/25 is 0.12, which is 0.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 3 divided by 25: 25*0.1 = 2.5, 3 - 2.5 = 0.5, 0.5/25 = 0.02, so 0.1 + 0.02 = 0.12. So to the nearest tenth, 0.12 is 0.1? Wait, no, 0.12 is 0.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, 0.12 is 0.1 (tenths place) and 0.02 (hundredths). So yes, rounding to the nearest tenth, it's 0.1? Wait, but maybe the problem doesn't require rounding if it's exact? Wait, 3/25 is exactly 0.12, which is 0.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, 0.12 is 0.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, 0.12: the tenths digit is 1, hundredths is 2. So the rule is: if the digit in the hundredths place is 5 or more, we round up the tenths digit; otherwise, we leave it. So 2 < 5, so we keep the tenths digit as 1. So 0.12 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.1. But wait, maybe the problem expects the exact decimal if it's terminating and then round if needed. Wait, 3/25 is 0.12, which is a terminating decimal. But the question says "rounding off to the nearest tenth if necessary". So we check if it's necessary. Since 0.12 has more than one decimal place, we round to the nearest tenth. So 0.12 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.1. Wait, but maybe I was wrong. Wait, 0.12 is 0.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Let me confirm: the tenths place is the first digit after the decimal. So 0.12: digit in tenths place is 1, digit in hundredths place is 2. So when rounding to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredths digit. If it's 5 or more, we round up the tenths digit; otherwise, we leave it. So 2 < 5, so tenths digit remains 1. So 0.12 ≈ 0.1.

Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Let's recalculate 3 divided by 25. 25 goes into 3 zero times. Add decimal point, 25 goes into 30 once (251=25), remainder 5. Bring down 0: 50. 25 goes into 50 twice (252=50), remainder 0. So 3/25 = 0.12. So to the nearest tenth, 0.12 is 0.1? Wait, no, 0.12 is 0.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, 0.12 is 0.1 (tenths place) and 0.02 (hundredths). So yes, because 0.02 is less than 0.05, so we round down. So the answer is 0.1? Wait, but maybe the problem doesn't require rounding if it's already to the tenth? Wait, 0.12 is two decimal places. So the question says "rounding off to the nearest tenth if necessary". So we need to round 0.12 to the nearest tenth, which is 0.1.

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

To convert \(\frac{6}{5}\) to a decimal, perform \(6 \div 5\).
\(6\div5 = 1.2\)

Step2: Round to nearest tenth (if needed)

The number \(1.2\) is already to the nearest tenth (since the hundredth place is 0, which is not shown). So no rounding is needed.

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

To convert \(\frac{5}{11}\) to a decimal, perform \(5 \div 11\).
\(5\div11 = 0.4545\ldots\) (a repeating decimal)

Step2: Round to nearest tenth (if needed)

To round \(0.4545\ldots\) to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredth place (5). Since 5 is equal to 5, we round up the tenths place. The tenths place is 4, so we round up to 5. So \(0.4545\ldots \approx 0.5\)

Answer:

0.12 (or 0.1 when rounded to nearest tenth? Wait, no, 0.12 is 0.12, and when rounded to the nearest tenth, it's 0.1? Wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, 3/25 is 0.12, which is 0.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Let me check with a calculator: 3 divided by 25 is 0.12. Rounded to the nearest tenth: 0.1. Yes.
