Bunuel please provide official explanation for this.
thirty-five hundredths =.035?
four thousandths=.004?
Yes, we definitely want to be clear on what hundredths and thousandths are!
One hundredth = 1/100 = 0.01
One thousandth = 1/1000 = 0.001
So, we could do this either with fractions or decimals. With fractions:
Thirty-five hundredths = 35/100
Four thousandths = 4/1000
This is what
hmasand did above, calculating \(\frac{35}{100}\) / \(\frac{4}{1000}\) = \(\frac{35*1000}{4*100}\) = \(\frac{350}{4}\) = 87.5
With decimals:
Thirty-five hundredths = 0.35
Four thousandths = 0.004
We would then be calculating \(\frac{0.35}{0.004}\), which we can multiply by \(\frac{1000}{1000}\) to get rid of the decimals, giving us \(\frac{350}{4}\) = 87.5 again.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
hundredth position is 2nd postion aftr decimal so should not 3 come in 100th postion.Please clarify
