Answer:
19 3/5 = 19.6 decmial.
Explanation:
Simplify the following:
19 + 3/5
Put 19 + 3/5 over the common denominator 5. 19 + 3/5 = (5×19)/5 + 3/5:
(5×19)/5 + 3/5
5×19 = 95:
95/5 + 3/5
95/5 + 3/5 = (95 + 3)/5:
(95 + 3)/5
95 + 3 = 98:
Answer: 98/5 = convert to decimal 19.6
Check:
Convert to a mixed number:
98/5
Divide 98 by 5:
5 | 9 | 8
5 goes into 9 at most one time:
| 1 | |
5 | 9 | 8 |
- | 5 | |
| 4 | 8 |
5 goes into 48 at most 9 times:
| 1 | 9 |
5 | 9 | 8 |
- | 5 | |
| 4 | 8 |
- | 4 | 5 |
| | 3 |
Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:
| 1 | 9 | (quotient)
5 | 9 | 8 |
- | 5 | |
| 4 | 8 |
- | 4 | 5 |
| | 3 | (remainder)
The quotient of 98/5 is 19 with remainder 3, so:
Answer: 19 3/5 = 19.6 decmial.
