Question

Express $200+30+5+\frac{4}{100}+\frac{7}{1000}$
as a decimal number and find its hundredths digit.

• A. 235.47, 7
• B. 235.047, 4
• C. 235.47, 4
• D. 234.057, 7

Answer 1

The correct option is B 235.047, 4

Converting the given fractions into decimals first:
$\frac{4}{100}=0.04$
$\frac{7}{1000}=0.007$

Consider the sum $200+30+5+\frac{4}{100}+\frac{7}{1000}$

200
+ 30
+ 5
+ 0.04
+ 0.007
_________
= 235.047
Since 4 is at the second place after the decimal point, we have the hundredths digit to be 4.
