Answer key and explanations

  1. A. \(\frac{47}{100}\)

    The decimal 0.47 has two digits after the decimal point, so it represents 47 hundredths: \(0.47 = \frac{47}{100}\).

  2. B. Sixty-three hundredths

    The decimal 0.63 is read as "sixty-three hundredths" because there are two decimal places (hundredths position). Avoid using "point" or "and" when reading decimals less than 1.

  3. B. 0.8

    A fraction with denominator 10 equals a decimal with one place: \(\frac{8}{10} = 0.8\).

  4. D. \(2 + 0.3 + 0.04\)

    In the decimal 2.34, the 3 is in the tenths place (0.3) and the 4 is in the hundredths place (0.04). So \(2.34 = 2 + 0.3 + 0.04\).

  5. C. 2

    The digit 2 is in the hundredths place (the second position to the right of the decimal point).

  6. C. Nine hundredths

    The decimal 0.09 has a 0 in the tenths place and a 9 in the hundredths place, so it reads as "nine hundredths".

  7. A. 3.52

    \(\frac{5}{10} = 0.5\) (tenths place) and \(\frac{2}{100} = 0.02\) (hundredths place), so \(3 + 0.5 + 0.02 = 3.52\).

  8. B. \(1 + 0.5\)

    The 5 is in the tenths place, so \(1.5 = 1 + 0.5\).
