A class V student, when asked to convert fractions like \frac{3}{10},\frac{7}{10},\frac{15}{10}, etc. into decimal numbers, writes them as: \frac{3}{10} = 1.3,\frac{7}{10} = 1.7,\frac{15}{10} = 2.5 Which is the best explanation of his/her misconception?

Correct Answer is : He/she is adding numerator and denominator and placing the decimal in the middle of two digits of the number thus obtained.

He/she has a careless attitude in the class.

He/she is adding numerator and denominator and placing the decimal in the middle of two digits of the number thus obtained.

he/she is using different kind of a mathematical algorithm

He/she is scared of mathematics hence doing this mistake
