Question

What decimal number is illustrated?

• A. $0.86$
• B. $0.14$
• C. $0.84$
• D. $0.85$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.86$

Total number of squares = 100

Number of colored squares = 86

86 are colored out of 100 squares $=\frac{86}{100}$

$\frac{86}{100}\text{represents eighty six hundredths}$

$\therefore \frac{86}{100}\text{is the same as 0.86}$
Let's see the place value chart of 0.86

Ones	.	Tenths $\left(\frac{1}{{10}^{th}s}\right)$	Hundredths $\left(\frac{1}{{100}^{th}s}\right)$
0	.	8	6

A decimal is 0.86
