In the expression shown, n represents a rational number. 10n What value of n makes the expression equal a number less than 10? A 1 2/3 B 13/12 C 5/6 D 12/12

Answer 1

To make the expression 10n equal a number less than 10, n must be a proper fraction.

Let's try each option:

A) 1 2/3 = 5/3 = 1.666... (not less than 10)
B) 13/12 = 1.0833... (not less than 10)
C) 5/6 = 0.8333... (less than 10)
D) 12/12 = 1 (not less than 10)

Therefore, the value of n that makes the expression equal a number less than 10 is 5/6. So, the answer is C) 5/6.
