Question

mr gazette plants a tulip bulb that has a diameter of 1/25 meter. Which shows an equivelent length?answers are:a.) 2/75 mb.) 0.04 mc.) 1 2/5 m d.) 0.125 m

Answer 1

We need to find an equivalent length to 1/25 meters.

First, notice that we can represent "meters" using the letter "m".

Also, an equivalent number can be found by dividing 1 by 25.

We obtain:

0.0 4 quotient

25 ) 100 dividend

4 x 25

0 remainder

Notice that to start the division, we needed to add zeros to the dividend (which was 1). And every time we add a zero to the dividend, we need to add one decimal place to the quotient.

Then, we wind up with 100 over 25, which has 4 as the quotient. But since we added two zeros to obtain 100, the digit 4 must be in the second decimal place.

Therefore, using m for meters, the answer is: 0.04 m
