Final answer:
To convert 7/5 to a decimal, perform long division by dividing 5 into 7 which gives a quotient of 1.4 with no remainder.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert the fraction 7/5 to a decimal using long division, you divide 7 by 5. Setup the division as you would on paper with 7 under the division bar (dividend) and 5 outside the bar (divisor). Since 5 does not go into 7 evenly, you add a decimal point to the right of the 7, and add a zero, making it 70. You then see how many times 5 goes into 70, which is 14 times (since 5 x 14 = 70). Write 14 right next to the 7 and carry down another zero after writing a decimal point on top. The result of the long division is 1.4, with no remainder.
