we are given


(17)/(40)

we can use long division method

Firstly, we will try to make denominator either 10 , 100 , 1000 , 10000 form

and then we can put decimal accordingly

Here , we are given 40 in the denominator


40 * 25=1000

so, we will multiply both top and bottom by 25


(17)/(40)=(25* 17)/(25* 40)


(17)/(40)=(425)/(1000)

now, we can put decimal to three places because we have 1000 in bottom

so, we get


(17)/(40)=0.425...............Answer
