Question

If 0.36 = a + b, chose the correct option:

• A. a = 0.3, b = 0.06
• B. a = 0.03, b = 0.6
• C. a = 0.3, b = 0.6
• D. a = 0.03, b = 0.06

Answer 1

The correct option is A

a = 0.3, b = 0.06

If we observe the given number, 0.36, this could be broken down as shown:

0.36 = 0.30 + 0.06 = 0.3 + 0.06. So, option A is correct.

Alternatively,

$0.36=\frac{36}{100}=\frac{30+6}{100}=\frac{30}{100}+\frac{6}{100}=\frac{3}{10}+\frac{36}{100}=0.3+0.06$

Hence, option A is correct.
