Answer 1

5/8 written as a decimal is 0.625

Answer 2

The correct decimal expansion of given fraction is option c) 0.625.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The cost of the amusement park was
`\displaystyle(5)/(8)` the cost of amusement park in summer.

Thus, it costs less to visit amusement park in winters as compared to the summers.

We have to write the decimal expansion of
`\displaystyle(5)/(8)`.

`\displaystyle(5)/(8) = 0.625`

Hence, the cost of visiting amusement park in winters is 0.625 times the cost of visiting amusement park in summers.

The correct decimal expansion of given fraction is option c) 0.625.
