Wade walked 0.58 mile to school.
Which value is equivalent to 0.58?
A- 5.8%
B- 5/8
c-58/50
D- 58%
B- 5/8
To determine which value is equivalent to 0.58, we can analyze the given options.
A- 5.8%
To convert a decimal to a percentage, we multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.58 would be equal to 58%, not 5.8%.
B- 5/8
To check if 0.58 is equal to 5/8, we can divide 5 by 8, which equals 0.625. Therefore, 0.58 is not equal to 5/8.
C- 58/50
To simplify 58/50, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. Dividing both 58 and 50 by 2 results in 29/25, which is not equal to 0.58.
D- 58%
As mentioned previously, to convert a decimal to a percentage, we multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.58 is equal to 58%.
Hence, the value equivalent to 0.58 is D- 58%.
To determine which value is equivalent to 0.58, we'll analyze each option:
A- 5.8%
To convert a decimal to a percentage, we move the decimal point two places to the right. Therefore, 0.58 as a percentage is 58%.
B- 5/8
To convert a decimal to a fraction, we write the decimal as the numerator and the denominator as a power of 10. For 0.58, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 to get 58/100. Simplifying the fraction, we get 29/50. Therefore, 0.58 is not equivalent to 5/8.
C- 58/50
This fraction is already simplified, but it is not equivalent to 0.58. This option is not correct.
D- 58%
This is the same as option A, which we already determined to be equivalent to 0.58.
So, the value that is equivalent to 0.58 is 58%, which corresponds to option D.
