Question

Which option does not express the following in numeral?

• A. 8.08
• B. 8.8
• C. 8.080
• D. 8.0800

Answer 1

The correct option is B 8.8

The given number name is eight and eight hundredths.

Here, 'eight' represents a whole number, 'and' represents a decimal point, and 'eight hundredths' represents a fraction.


The number formed is 8.08.

$\text{Now, to the left side of the decimal}$ $\text{point, adding zero}before\text{a number}$ $\text{does not affect the actual number.}$

$\text{Similarly, to the right of the decimal}$ $\text{point, adding zero}after\text{a number}$ $\text{does not affect the actual number.}$

Hence, out of all the given options, only second option is not expressing the same number because 8 is on its tenths place instead of hundredths.

Hence, 8.8 is the correct option.
