write the fraction or mixed number as a decimal.
1/5
-5/3
3 4/25
8 5/44
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Example:
1/5 = 0.2
We'll be glad to check your answers to the other three problems.
um so number 2 is
-1.667?
and 3 and 4 is what i don't understand
Yes, number 2 is -1.667.
If you rewrite number two as a mixed number, you'd have -1 2/3, right? The -1 is shown to the left of the decimal place. Knowing that, try the other two problems.
You're right for number 2.
3 4/25 =
4 / 25 = 0.16
3 + 0.16 = 3.16
Go ahead and try number 4.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). Here are the decimal equivalents for each fraction:
1/5:
To convert 1/5 to a decimal, divide 1 by 5:
1 ÷ 5 = 0.2
So, 1/5 as a decimal is 0.2.
-5/3:
To convert -5/3 to a decimal, divide -5 by 3:
-5 ÷ 3 ≈ -1.6667 (rounded to four decimal places)
So, -5/3 as a decimal is approximately -1.6667.
3 4/25:
To convert 3 4/25 to a decimal, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (25) and add the numerator (4) to get the new numerator. Keep the denominator the same.
3 * 25 = 75
75 + 4 = 79
The improper fraction is 79/25. To convert it to a decimal, divide 79 by 25:
79 ÷ 25 = 3.16
So, 3 4/25 as a decimal is 3.16.
8 5/44:
To convert 8 5/44 to a decimal, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number (8) by the denominator (44) and add the numerator (5) to get the new numerator. Keep the denominator the same.
8 * 44 = 352
352 + 5 = 357
The improper fraction is 357/44. To convert it to a decimal, divide 357 by 44:
357 ÷ 44 ≈ 8.1136 (rounded to four decimal places)
So, 8 5/44 as a decimal is approximately 8.1136.
