Q:
Kesia knows that 1/4 = 0.25. Explain how she could use this fact to determine the decimal equivalent of 5/8.
Accepted Solution
A:
she knows that
[tex]0.25 = \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{5}{8} = \frac{2}{8} + \frac{2}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \\ 0.25 + 0.25 + \frac{0.25}{2} = \\ 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.125 = 0.625 [/tex]
