Answer 1

It is about 3.66 In word form it is three and sixty six hundreths

Answer 2

3.66.

Explanation:

We have been given that bought 3 2/3 lb of apples to make some apple pies. We are asked to convert the weight of the apples as a decimal.

First of all, we will convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction as:

`3(2)/(3)\Rightarrow(3* 3+2)/(3)=(9+2)/(3)=(11)/(3)`

`(11)/(3)=3.666`

Therefore, the given weight written as a decimal would be 3.66.
