Question

Write equivalent forms of the given decimal number
Tenths: 0.4,1.3,____,6.8

Answer 1

To find the equivalent forms of the given decimal numbers in tenths, we can express each number as a fraction and in words.

1. **0.4**:
- In fraction: \( \frac{4}{10} \) or \( \frac{2}{5} \)
- In words: Four tenths

2. **1.3**:
- In fraction: \( \frac{13}{10} \) or \( 1 \frac{3}{10} \)
- In words: One and three tenths

3. **____**:
- If we follow the pattern, the next value in the tenths could be **2.4**:
- In fraction: \( \frac{24}{10} \) or \( 2 \frac{2}{5} \)
- In words: Two and four tenths

4. **6.8**:
- In fraction: \( \frac{68}{10} \) or \( 6 \frac{4}{5} \)
- In words: Six and eight tenths

So, the sequence is:
- 0.4 → Four tenths
- 1.3 → One and three tenths
- 2.4 → Two and four tenths (this is the missing number)
- 6.8 → Six and eight tenths

You can fill in the blank with **2.4**.
