i have a question. this is on my homework. im greater than 4/10 less than 5/10 i have 9 ones what number am i?
4/10 = 8/20
5/10 = 10/20
What comes between them? ___/20
thank u
You're welcome.
To find the number that is greater than 4/10 and less than 5/10, we can look for a decimal number between 0.4 and 0.5. Since you mentioned that the number has 9 ones, we can assume it is a whole number.
To solve this, we can start with the largest number that fits the criteria, which is 0.49 (49 hundredths). We know that this number is less than or equal to the correct number, so we need to check if it has 9 ones.
To convert 0.49 into a whole number, we can multiply it by 100. This gives us 49. Since there are no ones in 49, we can conclude that the number we're looking for is larger than 0.49.
Now, let's try the next largest number, 0.48 (48 hundredths), and convert it to a whole number. Multiply 0.48 by 100, which gives us 48. There are no ones in 48, so this is not the correct number either.
Continuing this process, let's try the next largest number, 0.47 (47 hundredths). Convert it to a whole number, and 0.47 multiplied by 100 equals 47. Again, there are no ones in 47.
Finally, let's try the next largest number, 0.46 (46 hundredths). Multiplying it by 100 gives us 46. In 46, there are 4 tens and 6 ones. Since this number fits the criteria, it is the number you are looking for.
Therefore, the number you are is 46.
