A Japanese beetle has a length between 0.3 and 0.5 inch. Find two lengths that are within the given span. Write them as fractions in simplest form.
2/5 and 9/20 is what I think the answer is.
well i think 4/10 = 2/5
0.35 = 35/100 = 7/20
0.4 = 4/10 = 2/5
0.42 = 42/100 = 21/50
0.3 -> 3/10
0.5 -> 5/10
That is what my class got.
well sense the 3 and 5 are in the tenths place they will become 30 and 50 so you need to find 2 numbers that are between 30 and 50. then you need to put that as a decimal. then make it a fraction. last but not least, put that in simplest form and that is your answer.
example:
STEP 1
40 and 45
STEP 2
.40 and .45
STEP 3
40/100 and 45/100
STEP 4
2/5 and 7/20
