Salutations!

What is 8/33 as a decimal?

To convert 8/33 as a decimal ---- you need to divide 8 by 33.

33÷8 = 0.24

There were several numbers, so we can just add 2 decimal numbers after the decimal point.

Hope I helped :D

Hi!

When we solve the fraction 8/33, we get the decimal 0.24242424242424 (And it goes on... and on... and on... forever...)

What does this mean, though? Well, it means this is an irrational number! It simply never terminates, and therefore never can become a rational number.

Hopefully, this helps! =)
