Express 3/8 and 1/10 as a Decimals?

A) 1.375 & 1 B) 0.375 & 1
C) 13.75 & 1.1 D) 0.375 & 0.1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0.375 & 0.1

Explanation:

3/8 as a Decimal :

In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple.

Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125

=> 3 x 1258 x 125 = 3751000 = 0.375

 

1/10 as a Decimal :

1 divided into 10 parts of each 0.1.

 

Therefore, 3/8 = 0.375 and 1/10 = 0.1 in decimals.
