Question

Convert 1/5 to the neatest tenth

Answer 1

1.1

Explanation:

If the digit after tenth is greater then or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth.

Answer 2

First, we convert the fraction to a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:

1 / 5 = 0.20

There are two parts to the decimal number above:

Integer Part: 0

Fractional Part: 20

Now, we will make the Fractional Part just one digit (nearest tenth) by using our rounding rules.*

In this case, Rule I applies, so 1/5 (or 0.20) rounded to the nearest tenth in decimal format is:

0.2
