6. Write each of the following as decimals: 
(i) 20 + 9 + 40/10 + 1/100 
(ii) 30 + 4/10 + 8/100 + 3/1000 
(iii) 137 + 5/100 
(iv) 7/10 + 6/100 + 4/1000 
(v) 23 + 2/10 + 6/1000 
(vi) 700 + 20 + 5 + 9/100 
Solution: 
 
(i) 20 + 9 + 40/10 + 1/100 
We know that 
2 tens, 9 ones, 4 tenths and 1 hundredths 
Hence, the decimal is 29.41. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(ii) 30 + 4/10 + 8/100 + 3/1000 
We know that  
3 tens, 4 tenths, 8 hundredths and 3 thousandths 
Hence, the decimal is 30.483. 
 
(iii) 137 + 5/100 
We know that 
1 hundred, 3 tens, 7 ones and 5 hundredths 
Hence, the decimal is 137.05. 
 
(iv) 7/10 + 6/100 + 4/1000 
We know that 
7 tenths, 6 hundredths and 4 thousandths 
Hence, the decimal is 0.764. 
 
(v) 23 + 2/10 + 6/1000 
We know that 
2 tens, 3 ones, 2 tenths and 6 thousandths 
Hence, the decimal is 23.206. 
 
(vi) 700 + 20 + 5 + 9/100 
We know that 
7 hundreds, 2 tens, 5 ones and 9 hundredths 
Hence, the decimal is 725.09.
