Answer : 3. "0.67"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 0.67 Explanation: To convert a fraction into decimal, just take the number on top which we called the numerator and divide it by the number at the bottom which we called the denominator. 2/3 How it comes : 2 ÷ 3 = 0 bring down the decimal point. 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 etc... This gives the recurring decimal 0.6666... If we round off to two decimals , then it becomes 0.67. Hence, decimal fraction of 2/3 = 0.67.

Answer : 1. "0.5"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 0.5 Explanation: In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,... Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.
