Question

5 37/40 as a decimal

Answer 1

Your answer will be 5.925

Answer 2

well 5=5
and 37/40
hmm, try to get that 40 into an nice number that is multiplule of 10
if we divide top and bottom by 4 that would work

`( (37)/(40))( ( (1)/(4) )/( (1)/(4) ))= (9.25)/(10)`
9.25/10=92.5=100=925/1000=925 thousandths=0.925

so the decimal would be 5.925
