Question

Change each fraction to a decimal. If the division doesn't end, round your answer to the nearest hundredth. a. 3/4 b. 7/16 c. 72/5 d. 3/5 e. 7/40 f. 51/20

Answer 1

a.
`(3)/(4)= 0.75`

b.
`(7)/(16)=0.4375`

c.
`(72)/(5)= 14.40`

d.
`(3)/(5)= 0.60`

e.
`(7)/(40)= 0.175`

f.
`(51)/(20)= 2.55`

Solution:

To convert a decimal into fraction, we have to divide the numerator and the denominator.

Here, on converting the fractions to decimal we get,

1. 
   `(3)/(4)=(3+25)/(4+25)=(75)/(100)=0.75`
2. 
   `(7)/(16)=0.4375`
3. 
   `(72)/(5)=(72+20)/(5+20)=(1440)/(100)=14.40`
4. 
   `(3)/(5)=(3+20)/(5+20)=(60)/(100)=0.60`
5. 
   `(7)/(40)=0.175`
6. 
   `(51)/(20)=(51+5)/(20+5)=(255)/(100)=2.55`
