Question

Change 2/8 to a decimal. Show all work

Answer 1

2/8

First, simplify. Divide 2 from both numerator and denominator

2/2 = 1

8/2 = 4

1/4

Next, multiply 25 to both numerator and denominator

(1 x 25)/(4 x 25) = 25/100

To solve, move the decimal point to the left both sides, and place it as a decimal.

25/100 = 0.25

0.25 is your answer

hope this helps
