Find each missing number.
a) \(0.75 = \frac{75}{\square}\)
b) \(0.03 = \frac{\square}{100}\)
c) \(2.1 = \frac{\square}{10}\)
d) \(0.06 = \frac{6}{\square}\)
e) \(9 = \frac{\square}{100}\)
Hints
- Use the place value of the last decimal digit.
- A whole number can also be written as a fraction.
- Think about how many hundredths equal one whole.
Solution
1. For a), \(0.75\) is \(75\) hundredths, so \(\square = 100\).
2. For b), \(0.03\) is \(3\) hundredths, so \(\square = 3\).
3. For c), \(2.1\) is \(21\) tenths, so \(\square = 21\).
4. For d), \(0.06\) is \(6\) hundredths, so \(\square = 100\).
5. For e), \(9 = 9 \times \frac{100}{100} = \frac{900}{100}\), so \(\square = 900\).
Answer
a) \(100\)
b) \(3\)
c) \(21\)
d) \(100\)
e) \(900\)
