Question

part 3: decimals & place value
skills: conversions, operations with decimals

1. fraction to decimal: write \\(\frac{45}{100}\\) as a decimal.
2. comparing: use

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction to decimal conversion

To convert a fraction with denominator 100 to a decimal, we can use the place value. The denominator 100 means we are dealing with hundredths place.

Step2: Convert \(\frac{45}{100}\) to decimal

A fraction \(\frac{a}{100}\) is equivalent to the decimal \(0.a\) when \(a\) is a two - digit number (or we can think of dividing 45 by 100). When we divide a number by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the left. For 45, we can write it as 45.0. Moving the decimal point two places to the left gives us 0.45.

Answer:

\(0.45\)
