Question

I just need help on this.
​

Answer 1

.42 is an answer that will work.

Answer 2

Explanation:

From the problem statement:

"I am less than one-half"

This means that the number is less than
`(1)/(2)`, or 0.50

"but greater than four tenths"

This means that the number is greater than
`(4)/(10)`, or 0.40

"I am a decimal with the digit 2 in my hundredths place"

This means that the number follows the format 0.x2, so we just need to figure out what x is. We know that the number is between 0.40 and 0.50, so the number in this case would be 0.42
