DECIMAL FRACTIONS - EXERCISE 3 (SOLUTION 11 TO 20)

1 1.      3/4 = 0.75, 5/6 = 0.833, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.66, 4/5 – 0.8, 9/10 – 0.9.

                         Clearly, 0.8 lies b between o.75 and 0.833.

                           4/5 lies between 3/4 and 5/6.

12.      7/8 = 0.975, 1/3 = 0.333, ¼ = 0.25, 23/24 = 0.958, 11/12 = 0.916 17/24 =0.708.

                             Clearly, 0.708 lies between 0.333 and 0.875.

                            17/24 lies between 1/3 and 7/8.

13.      4/5 = 0.8, 7/13 = 0.53, ½ = ½ = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.66, ¾ = 0.75, 5/7 = 0.714,

                  Clearly, 0.5 does not the between 0.53 and 0.8.

                  1/2 does not lie between 4/5 and 7/13.

14.      -7/10 = -0.7, 5/-8 = -5/8 = -0.625, 2/-3 = -2/3= -0.66.

                            Since – 0.7 < - 0.66< - 0.625, So -7/10 < 2/-3 < 5/-8.
