Find the missing decimal so that each pair adds to 1.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to find the missing decimal numbers that, when added to the given fractions, equal 1. We need to solve for the decimals corresponding to 1/4 and 3/5.
Answer
The missing decimals are $0.75$ and $0.4$.
Answer for screen readers
The missing decimals are $0.75$ for $ \frac{1}{4} $ and $0.4$ for $ \frac{3}{5} $.
Steps to Solve
-
Find the missing decimal for $ \frac{1}{4} $
To find the missing decimal, subtract $ \frac{1}{4} $ from 1.
$$ x = 1 - \frac{1}{4} $$
Convert $ \frac{1}{4} $ to decimal:
$$ \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 $$
Thus,
$$ x = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75 $$
-
Find the missing decimal for $ \frac{3}{5} $
For the second fraction, subtract $ \frac{3}{5} $ from 1.
$$ y = 1 - \frac{3}{5} $$
Convert $ \frac{3}{5} $ to decimal:
$$ \frac{3}{5} = 0.6 $$
So,
$$ y = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4 $$
The missing decimals are $0.75$ for $ \frac{1}{4} $ and $0.4$ for $ \frac{3}{5} $.
More Information
To clarify, the decimal $0.75$ corresponds to $ \frac{1}{4} $ since $0.25 + 0.75 = 1$. Similarly, $0.4$ corresponds to $ \frac{3}{5} $, as $0.6 + 0.4 = 1$.
Tips
- Confusing the conversion of fractions to decimals. Always double-check the conversion.
- Forgetting to perform the subtraction step correctly. Ensure that you subtract the fraction from 1.
