To convert 27/50 to a decimal using long division, you would follow these steps:
1. Set up the division problem by placing 27 as the dividend inside the long division symbol (÷) and 50 as the divisor outside the symbol.
```
________
50 | 27
```
2. Divide the first digit of the dividend (2) by the divisor (50). The result is 0 because 2 is smaller than 50.
```
________
50 | 27
0
```
3. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (7) and place it to the right of the 0.
```
________
50 | 27
0.
```
4. Divide the combination of the previous result (0) and the next digit of the dividend (7) by the divisor (50). The result is 0 because 7 is smaller than 50.
```
________
50 | 27
0. 0
```
5. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0) and place it to the right of the previous result (0).
```
________
50 | 27
0. 0
```
6. Divide the combination of the previous result (0) and the next digit of the dividend (0) by the divisor (50). The result is 0 because 0 is smaller than 50.
```
________
50 | 27
0. 0 0
```
7. Since there are no more digits in the dividend, the decimal part of the quotient is 0.
```
________
50 | 27
0. 0 0
```
Therefore, the result of 27/50 as a decimal using long division is 0.54.
