hello

to convert this rational number to decimal, we can use long division method or simply with our calculator

i'll solve this first with a calculator and then secondly using long division


(2)/(9)=0.222

secondly, i'll use long division method to do that

i'll take you through the process in a step wise manner

step 1

divide 2 by 9

that's impossible so you'll add a zero and check if 9 can divide 20

20 is divisible by 9 with a remainder of 2.

write that 2 on top of the upper most line.

multiply that 2 by 9 which will give 18.

subtract 18 from 20 which will give a remainder of 2.

repeat the same process again and again until you find a terminal answer.

in this case, the quotient is a repititive number and you can terminate the division which you find that.
