  1. Money is usually written using decimals. Express each fraction above as a decimal using the correct money symbol.

  2. Find the number of cents and the number of dollars equal to 375 mills.

  3. Find the number of cents and the number of dollars equal to 775 mills.

  4. Find the number of cents and the number of dollars equal to 1,000 mills.

Solution

  1. 110=0.1\frac{1}{10}=0.1 so if one mill is equal to 110\frac{1}{10} of a cent, then written as a decimal it is 0.1¢\boxed{0.1¢}. 11000=0.001\frac{1}{1000}=0.001 so if one mill is equal to 11000\frac{1}{1000} of a dollar, then written as a decimal it is $0.001\boxed{\$0.001}.

  2. Since 1 mill = 0.1¢, then 375 mills = 375(0.1¢) = 37.5¢\boxed{37.5¢}. Since 1 mill = $0.001, then 375 mills = 375($0.001) = $0.375\boxed{\$0.375}.

  3. Since 1 mill = 0.1¢, then 775 mills = 775(0.1¢) = 77.5¢\boxed{77.5¢}. Since 1 mill = $0.001, then 775 mills = 775($0.001) = $0.775\boxed{\$0.775}.

  4. Since 1 mill = 0.1¢, then 1000 mills = 1000(0.1¢) = 100¢\boxed{100¢}. Since 1 mill = $0.001, then 1000 mills = 1000($0.001) = $1\boxed{\$1}.
