Verified Answer :

the answers that you have circled are correct

Answer: \(\dfrac{231}{1000}=0.231\)

\(\dfrac{2}{10}+\dfrac{3}{100}+\dfrac{1}{1000}\)

two and thirty one thousandths are the required expressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 10

Weight of each coin = Two hundred thirty one thousands of an ounce.

So, Weight of ten coins would be

\(\dfrac{231}{1000}\\\\=0.231\)

Or it can written as

\(\dfrac{2}{10}+\dfrac{3}{100}+\dfrac{1}{1000}\)

or it can be written as

two and thirty one thousandths.

Hence \(\dfrac{231}{1000}=0.231\)

\(\dfrac{2}{10}+\dfrac{3}{100}+\dfrac{1}{1000}\)

two and thirty one thousandths are the required expressions.
