Q. Which decimal is equivalent to 34 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 0.75(B) 1.25(C) 1.1(D) 1.3
Understand the Problem: Understand the problem. We need to find the decimal equivalent of the fraction34.
Convert to Decimal: Convert the fraction to a decimal.To convert the fraction 34 to a decimal, we can perform long division where 4 is the dividend and 3 is the divisor.
Perform Long Division: Perform the long division.When we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1. We then add a decimal point and a zero to the remainder to continue the division. Dividing 10 by 3 gives us 3 with a remainder of 1 again. This process will repeat indefinitely, giving us a repeating decimal.
Identify Repeating Pattern: Identify the repeating pattern.Since the remainder keeps repeating after the decimal point, we have a repeating decimal. The digit 3 will repeat indefinitely, so the decimal equivalent of 34 is 1.3333…, which can be written as 1.3.
