Question

Write each of the following as decimals:

$70+\frac{8}{10}$

Answer 1

In $70+\frac{8}{10}$, first, we will find the decimal form of $\frac{8}{10}$ then add it to $70$.

For converting $\frac{8}{10}$ into decimals,

Check the number of zeros in the denominator, and by counting that many digits from the right put the decimal point in the numerator.

Here, in the denominator, there is one zero, so place the decimal point after one digit from the right in the numerator.

Therefore, $\frac{8}{10}$$=0.8$.

So, $70+\frac{8}{10}$$=70+0.8$

$=70.8$.

Therefore, $70+\frac{8}{10}$$=70.8$
