Question

Change 38/50 into a decimal number.

Answer 1

0.76

Step-by-step explanation:

To change 38/50 into a decimal number, we follow the steps below:

Step 1: Rewrite the fraction in a way that will make it easier to change (in this case, we make the denominator a power of 10).

`\begin{gathered} (38)/(50)=(38)/(50)*(2)/(2) \\ =(76)/(100) \end{gathered}`

Step 2: Change 76/100 to a decimal

`\begin{gathered} (76)/(100)=76*(1)/(100) \\ =76*(1)/(10^2) \\ =76*10^(-2) \\ =0.76 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 38/50 as a decimal is 0.76.
