Write each fraction as a decimal.
Question 8.
\(\frac{2}{10}\) = ________________
Answer: 0.2
Explanation: Given that, the fraction value is \(\frac{2}{10}\).
Now, we will find the decimal value.
So, the value is 2/10 = 1/5
Divide 1 by 5, to get 0.2
Hence, the decimal value is 0.2.
Question 9.
\(\frac{6}{10}\) = ________________
Answer: 0.6
Explanation: Given that, the fraction value is \(\frac{6}{10}\)

Divide 3/5, to get the value is
Hence, the decimal value is 0.6
Question 10.
\(\frac{9}{10}\) = ________________
Answer: 0.9
Explanation: Given that, the fraction value is \(\frac{9}{10}\).
Now, we will find the decimal value.
So, the value is 9/10
i.e., 9/10 = 0.9
Hence, the decimal value is 0.9
Question 11.
\(\frac{24}{100}\) = ________________
Answer: 0.24
Explanation: Given that, the fraction value is \(\frac{24}{100}\).
Now, we will find the decimal value.
So, the value is 24/100
i.e., 24/100 = 0.24
Hence, the decimal value is 0.24
Question 12.
\(\frac{16}{100}\) = ________________
Answer: 0.16
Explanation: Given that, the fraction value is \(\frac{16}{100}\).
Now, we will find the decimal value.
So, the value is 16/100.
i.e., 16/100 = 0.16
Hence, the decimal value is 0.16
Question 13.
\(\frac{83}{100}\) = ________________
Answer: 0.83
Explanation: Given that, the fraction value is \(\frac{83}{100}\).
Now, we will find the decimal value.
So, the value is 83/100
i.e., 83/100 = 0.83
Hence, the decimal value is 0.83
Write a decimal for each part of a dollar shown.
Question 14.
Answer: $0.51
Explanation: Given the 1 penny dollar, 1 quarter dollar, 4 Nickel.
Now, we will find the total value of the dollars.
The value of 1 penny dollar is 1/100 = 0.01
The value of 1 quarter dollar is 25/100 = 0.25
The value of 1 Nickel dollar is 5/100 = 0.05.
So, the value of 4 nickel dollars is 0.05 x 4 = 0.2
Therefore, the decimal value of the dollars is 0.01+ 0.25 + 0.05 + 0. 2 = 0.51.
Question 15.
Answer: $0.92
Explanation: Given the 2 penny dollars, 9 Dime dollars.
Now, we will find the total value of the dollars.
The value of 1 penny dollar is 1/100 = 0.01
So, the value of 2 penny dollars is 2 x 0.01 = 0.02
The value of 1 Dime dollar is 10/100 = 0.10.
So, the value of 9 dime dollars is 0.10 x 9 = 0.90
Therefore, the decimal value of the dollars is 0.02+ 0.90 = 0.92
