Answer:7/10
Step-by-step explanation:First, we convert the fraction to a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
8 / 11 = 0.72
There are two parts to the decimal number above:
Integer Part: 0
Fractional Part: 72
Now, we will make the Fractional Part just one digit (nearest tenth) by using our rounding rules.*
In this case, Rule I applies, so 8/11 (or 0.72) rounded to the nearest tenth in decimal format is:
0.7
Next, we will make 8/11 rounded to the nearest tenth in fraction format. Since you can divide our decimal format answer above by 1 and keep the same value, you can make it like this:
0.7 = 0.7/1
Then, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 to get rid of the decimal point:
(0.7 x 10) / (1 x 10) = 7/10
That's it. 8/11 rounded to the nearest tenth is displayed below (simplified if necessary):
7/10
