Respuesta :

it can be described as 9/10

Answer:

[tex]0.9=\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that decimal number 0.3 represents [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

We have to fine the number that describes best 0.9 and 3 times of 0.3

We are given that the number which descries best 0.9 is 3 times of 0.3

[tex]0.3=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]0.9=\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

[tex]0.3=\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

Multiply by 3 then we get

[tex]0.3\times 3=\frac{3}{10}\times 3[/tex]

[tex]0.9=\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Hence, the number is [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex] which describes best  0.9.
