QuestionComplete the table below to show each fraction as a decimal, and each decimal as a fraction. \begin{tabular}{|lc|c|} \hline & Fraction & Decimal \\ \hline a & 34\frac{3}{4} & \\ \hline b & & 0.20 \\ \hline c & 3100\frac{3}{100} & \\ \hline d & & \\ \hline e & 610\frac{6}{10} & 0.72 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to fill in the missing fractions and decimals in the table, making sure each row has an equivalent fraction and decimal. Watch out! Don't mix up your place values when converting between fractions and decimals!

STEP 2

1. Convert Fractions to Decimals
2. Convert Decimals to Fractions
3. Complete Row d

STEP 3

Alright, let's **convert** 34\frac{3}{4} to a decimal!
Remember, a fraction is just a division problem in disguise.
We're dividing **3** by **4**.
So, 34=3÷4=0.75\frac{3}{4} = 3 \div 4 = 0.75 Boom! 34\frac{3}{4} is equal to **0.75**!

STEP 4

Now, let's tackle 3100\frac{3}{100}.
This one's a bit easier.
When we divide by **100**, we move the decimal point two places to the left.
So, 3100=3÷100=0.03\frac{3}{100} = 3 \div 100 = 0.03 3100\frac{3}{100} is the same as **0.03**!

STEP 5

Time to turn **0.20** into a fraction. **0.20** is **twenty hundredths**, which we can write as: 0.20=201000.20 = \frac{20}{100} We can **simplify** this fraction by dividing the **numerator** and **denominator** by their **greatest common factor**, which is **20**: 20100=20÷20100÷20=15\frac{20}{100} = \frac{20 \div 20}{100 \div 20} = \frac{1}{5} So, **0.20** is equivalent to 15\frac{1}{5}!

STEP 6

Row 'e' has 610\frac{6}{10} and **0.72**.
Something's fishy! 610\frac{6}{10} is the same as **0.6**, not **0.72**.
So, one of these must be wrong.
Let's assume the fraction is correct and find the correct decimal.

STEP 7

We already know 610\frac{6}{10} is equal to **0.6**.
Let's write that down. 610=0.6\frac{6}{10} = 0.6

STEP 8

Since **0.72** doesn't belong with 610\frac{6}{10}, it must belong in row d!
Now, we just need to convert **0.72** to a fraction. **0.72** is **seventy-two hundredths**: 0.72=721000.72 = \frac{72}{100} We can **simplify** this by dividing the **numerator** and **denominator** by **4**: 72100=72÷4100÷4=1825\frac{72}{100} = \frac{72 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{18}{25} So, the missing fraction for row d is 1825\frac{18}{25}!

STEP 9

Here's our completed table:
| Fraction | Decimal | |---|---| | 34\frac{3}{4} | 0.75 | | 15\frac{1}{5} | 0.20 | | 3100\frac{3}{100} | 0.03 | | 1825\frac{18}{25} | 0.72 | | 610\frac{6}{10} | 0.6 |
