Answer 1

A. 14/100 in fraction form: 0.14 in decimal form

B. 4625/1000 in fraction for: 4.625 in decimal form:
But because of how the AND is used it can also be read as:
4600 and 25/1000 in fraction for in decimal that will be: 4600.025.

It should have been written four thousand six hundred twenty five thousandths for it to be clearer.

C. 1001/1000 in fraction form. 1.001 in decimal form: In this one you can tell that it is 1001/1000 because of thousanths being plural. If it had been written:
one thousand and one thousandth the problem would have been totally different. it would have been 1000 and 1/1000. You have to watch how they are worded.

D. 985 and 63/100 in fraction form: 985. 63 in decimal form

E. 8035 and 4/10 in fraction form: 8035.4 in decimal form.

Look you are first misreading the problems. When you see that AND that is the fraction and (or) decimal part ot the number. everything on the right side is going to be part of the fraction or decimal everything on the left side of the AND is going to be the whole number part of the number as a rule.

Now when you read a number such as:

14 hundredths that means if writing it as a fraction it is 14/100

If you are writing it as a decimal you mentally counter the number of 0's in 100 which is 2. So you start at the right of the number and counter from right to left 2 digits (numbers) and that is where you put your decimal point.

0.14 in decimal form.

Now like B. that can be confusing because if the way it is stated. The and in this case is used as part of the statement not separating the fraction part from the whole number part.

10 > more the decimal to the left 1 place
100> move the decimal to the left 2 places
1000> move the decimal to the left 3 places
10,000> move the decimal to the left 4 places
100,000> move the decimal to the left 5 places.
and so on !

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

First of all, it's important not to attack yourself. I'm sure you don't "suck". It's hard to get back into the swing of things when you've been away from your coursework all summer. Plus...you got the first one right!

a. correct

b. 4,600. 025.

The first thing you do is just write out the number you see BEFORE the word "and". That number is 4600. Now, work on the part after the "and" (after the decimal). They want "25 thousandths". Write down the "25". When they say "thousandths", that means "scoot the decimal point over 3 to the left". You'll need an extra zero (just add it in right next door to the decimal point). That's how you end up with 4,600.025

c. 1,000.001

Start this one the same way. Start by just writing out the number. One thousand is "1,000". AND one THOUSANDTHS is .001 . Put it together and you have 1,000.001.

d. 985.63

Start by writing out the first part (before the word "and"). That is "985". That's the first part of your number. Now move to the part AFTER the word "and". Start by just writing out that number (i.e., "63). When you see "hundredths", that means "scoot the decimal point over 2 places to the left". Then you end up with .63. Put it all together, and you have 985.63

e. 8,035.4

Again, start by writing out the number BEFORE you get to the word "and". That number is "8,035". Now conquer the part AFTER the word "and" (e.g., after the decimal point). That is four tenths. Start again by writing out the number itself (i.e., "4"). When you see the word "tenths", it means "scoot the decimal point over one place to the left". That leaves you with .4 Now. Put it all together and you have 8035.4

Hang in there! You can do it!

Best of luck to you in school,

Answer 3

Simply count the number of zeros and move the decimal place...

14 hundredths = 14 / 100, so move decimal 2 times to the left

a. 0.14

b. 4,600.025

c. 1,000.001

d. 985.63

e. 8035.4

Notice for tenths the decimal moved 1 time (10, 1 zero)
for hundredths the decimal moved 2 times (100, 2 zeroes)
and for thousandths the decimal moved 3 times (1000, 3 zeroes)

Answer 4

a) correct
b) No, 4,625 thousandths would be 4.625. "46.025" would be "forty six, and twenty-five thousandths"
c) No, that's ten thousand and one ten-thousandths.
d) No, nine hundred eighty-five is 985, and sixty-three hundreds is 0.63, so combining them is 985.63
e) OK, you need to learn how to do this. Don't "guess" it.

By the way, you're not going to get any better if you keep saying "I suck". Learn how to do it.

Answer 5

a. correct
b. 4.625 because for example, nine tenths is .9 right? so ten tenths is 1.0 right? then one thousand thousandths would be 1.0, and fourthousand thousandths would be 4.0 (then add the 625 thousandths after the decimal
c. 1000.001 (for the same reason as above
d. 985.63
e. 8,035.4

hope it helps!
