To convert a fraction to a decimal using long division, follow these steps:
Step 1: Set up the long division problem by placing the numerator (27) inside the division bracket and the denominator (50) outside the bracket.
______
50 | 27
Step 2: Start dividing by finding the largest whole number that can be multiplied by 50 without exceeding 27. In this case, it is 0. Therefore, place a 0 above the division bracket.
0
______
50 | 27
Step 3: Multiply the whole number (0) by the denominator (50) and subtract the result from the numerator (27).
0
______
50 | 27
0
27 - 0 = 27
Step 4: Bring down the next digit of the numerator (0) and place it after the subtraction result (27) to form the new dividend (270).
0. ______
50 | 27
0
27
______
50 | 270
Step 5: Find the largest whole number that can be multiplied by 50 without exceeding 270. In this case, it is 5. Place this number above the division bracket.
0.5
______
50 | 270
25
Step 6: Multiply the whole number (5) by the denominator (50) and subtract the result from the dividend (270).
0.5
______
50 | 270
25
-----
20
270 - 250 = 20
Step 7: Bring down the next digit of the numerator (0) and place it after the subtraction result (20) to form the new dividend (200).
0.54
______
50 | 270
25
-----
200
Repeat step 5 and step 6 until the remainder is zero or you obtain the desired level of precision.
Step 8: Find the largest whole number that can be multiplied by 50 without exceeding 200. In this case, it is 4. Place this number above the division bracket.
0.54
______
50 | 270
25
-----
200
200
-----
0
Step 9: Since the remainder is zero, the division process is complete. The quotient is 0.54.
Therefore, the decimal equivalent of 27/50 is 0.54.
The answer is D. 0.54.
