## anonymous one year ago What Numer is between 0.5 and 5/8?

• This Question is Open

5/8 = .625

So a number between .5 and .625 correct?

3. anonymous

I belive so. Can you explain how it works?

Just find the decimal of 5/8. To do this, you divide the numerator by the denominator

So what's the decimal of 2/3?

6. anonymous

0.6?

7. hwyl

do you want to use fraction? $$1/2 = 0.5 = 4/8$$ so $$\large \frac{4}{8}<x<\frac{5}{8}$$

In 2/3, you want to expand it, so it'd be .66

9. anonymous

Yes.

10. hwyl

pay attention to what I posted

Assuming all you have to do is find an integer between the two, start dividing fractions.

Okay I just found the answers on the back of the book. Should I post them so we can figure out which one it is? All of the answers are fractions.

Sure?
