Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the problem statement:
"I am less than one-half"
This means that the number is less than [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], or 0.50
"but greater than four tenths"
This means that the number is greater than [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex], or 0.40
"I am a decimal with the digit 2 in my hundredths place"
This means that the number follows the format 0.x2, so we just need to figure out what x is. We know that the number is between 0.40 and 0.50, so the number in this case would be 0.42
