Laura shaded 60 squares on her hundredths grid. Billy shaded 50 squares on his hundredths grid. A. Write an expression that is the sum of two fractions and has a value greater than Billy’s decimal and less than Laura’s decimal. B. Write two decimals equivalent to Laura’s decimal.

(A) The two fractions can be 0.54 and 0.55 and something else also between 0.50 and 0.60.

(B) The two decimals equivalent to Laura’s decimal are 0.6 and 0.600.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Laura shaded 60 squares on her hundredths grid. Billy shaded 50 squares on his hundredths grid.

(A) Laura shaded 60 squares on her hundredths grid, that means;

Similarly, Billy shaded 50 squares on his hundredths grid, that means;

The two fractions that have a value greater than Billy’s decimal and less than Laura’s decimal is given by;

This means 0.50 < x < 0.60

The two fractions can be 0.54 and 0.55 and something else also between 0.50 and 0.60.

(B) The two decimals equivalent to Laura’s decimal are;

Laura's decimal fraction is 0.60

So, 0.6 is equivalent to 0.60

and 0.600 is also equivalent to 0.60

Hence, the two decimals equivalent to Laura’s decimal are 0.6 and 0.600.
