Using the digit 5 and 1. Write a decimal less than 0.3

Bobpursley and I have both shown you how to do this. Now it's your turn.

We'll be glad to check your work.

0.15

Right! :-)

To write a decimal less than 0.3 using the digits 5 and 1, we need to place them in the correct position relative to the decimal point.

Step 1: Place the decimal point somewhere to the left of the digits. Since we want the decimal to be less than 0.3, we need the decimal point to be before the digit 3.

Step 2: Let's start with the digit 1. To make the decimal less than 0.3, we need to place it to the right of the decimal point but to the left of the digit 3. So, the decimal can be something like 0.1.

Step 3: Now, let's add the digit 5. We can place it after the digit 1, resulting in a decimal like 0.15.

Therefore, the decimal less than 0.3 using the digits 5 and 1 is 0.15.
