Solution
Definitions:
A term in an algebraic expression can be a constant, a variable or a product of constants and variables separated by the signs of addition (+) or subtraction (\[-\] ) . Examples: 27, x, xyz, \[\frac{1}{2} x^2 yz\] etc.
The number factor of the term is called its coefficient.
The expression
\[0 . 2x - 0 . 3xy + 0 . 5y\] consists of three terms , i.e.,
\[0 . 2x, - 0 . 3xy \text { and } 0 . 5y .\]
The coefficient of \[0 . 2x\] is \[0 . 2\]
The coefficient of \[- 0 . 3xy\] is \[- 0 . 3\],and the coefficient of \[0 . 5y\] is \[0 . 5\].
