Write equivalent forms of the given decimal number

Question

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.
