Polly’s Pizza is launching a new extra-large pizza. Polly, the owner, hasn’t decided whether to slice each pizza into tenths, twelfths, or sixteenths. For each of the following questions, if the answer is a terminating decimal number, write the terminating decimal number. If the answer is a repeating decimal number, write the repeating decimal number and state which digits repeat.
When cut into
10 equal slices, each slice is
1/10 of the pizza. Express how much of the pizza
7 of these slices would be in decimal form.
To express how much of the pizza 7 slices would be in decimal form when cut into 10 equal slices, we need to calculate the fraction 7/10 as a decimal.
To do this, we divide 7 by 10:
7 ÷ 10 = 0.7
Therefore, when the pizza is cut into 10 equal slices, 7 slices would be represented as 0.7 in decimal form.
