Question

How many 1/10's are in 1/4

Answer 1

Assumptions:

assume that,

x is the no of 1/10 s in 1/4

Calculations:

$x \times \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{4} \\ x = \frac{10}{4} \\ x = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5$

Answer:

there are total 2.5 1/10's in 1/4

hope it helps to you☺️

Answer 2

Hint:

If a be a number such that a is n times in b, then we find a relation,

n = a/b

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times 1/10 is in 1/4, we divide 1/4 by 1/10, as we have shown in Hint.

Therefore the required number of times

= (1/4) ÷ (1/10)

= 1/4 × 10/1

= 5/2

= 2 1/2

Final answer:

1/10 is 2 1/2 times in 1/4.

Note:

For the two numbers 5 and 2, 5 is (2 ÷ 5) = 0.4 times in 2 and 2 is (5 ÷ 2) = 2.5 times in 5.
