Question

Write the sum of place value of $5$ in $\frac{6}{8}$ and place value of $4$ in $\frac{6}{25}$.

Answer 1

Firstly, we will convert the fractions into decimals.

$\frac{6}{8}=\frac{6\times 125}{8\times 125}=\frac{750}{1000}=0.75$

Place value of $5$ in $\frac{6}{8}=0.75$ is $\frac{5}{100}=0.05$.

$\frac{6}{25}=\frac{6\times 4}{25\times 4}=\frac{24}{100}=0.24$

Place value of $4$ in $\frac{6}{25}=0.24$ is $\frac{4}{100}=0.04$.

Required sum of the place values $=0.05+0.04=0.09$.
