Question

What is 18/25 converted into a decimal

Answer 1

In order to write
`(18)/(25)` as a decimal, we need to find a fraction equivalent to
`(18)/(25)` with 100 in the denominator. We can multiply the numerator and the denominator of
`(18)/(25)` by 4 and we will get the equivalent fraction
`(72)/(100)`. Remember that the hundredths place is two places to the right of the decimal point so we can write
`(72)/(100)` as 0.72

Therefore, 18/25 is equivalent to 0.72.

Answer 2

To do it without a calculator you would first want to get the denominator to be 100.
To do this you would have to multiply both the top and bottom by 4
So now you have 72/100. You would then divide 72 by 100. To do this you simply move the decimal left two place, and you would get .72
