-1 1/10 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: numerator (the number on the top) represents how many parts out of the whole, and the denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make up the whole. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

-1 1/10 as a decimal

 

Answer

 

-1 1/10 can be written as -1.1 in decimal form. It is a terminating decimal.

 

Explanation

 

To convert -1 1/10 into a decimal, we need to understand that it is a mixed number consisting of a whole number and a fraction. Here's a breakdown of the conversion process:

 

Step 1: Identify the whole number and the fraction. The whole number is -1, and the fraction is 1/10.

 

Step 2: Convert the fraction 1/10 into a decimal. Since 10 is a power of 10, we can easily convert it by dividing 1 by 10, which gives us 0.1.

 

Step 3: Combine the whole number with the decimal. Since the whole number is -1, we combine it with 0.1 to get -1.1.

 

Therefore, -1 1/10 as a decimal is -1.1.
