Express 3/11 as a decimal number.
do u go 3 divide by 11
or 11 divide by 3 ??
so it would be 0.27 repeated
or
3.6 repeated ??
.27 repeated..because 3/11 is less than 1, see that? There is no whole number in front of the fraction so it can't be 3.6.
3/11
Divide 3 by 11 = 0.2727
Think about it. 3/11 is 3 parts out of 11. The quotient must be less than 1.
o, duh.. thanks you both of you
You're welcome.
To express 3/11 as a decimal, you need to divide 3 by 11. Here's how you can do it:
1. Long Division Method:
- Write 3 as the dividend (the number you are dividing) and 11 as the divisor (the number you are dividing by).
- Divide 3 by 11. Since the dividend is smaller than the divisor, you can add a decimal point after the 3 and append a zero to the right of it (making it 3.0).
- Now, divide 30 (the adjusted dividend) by 11. The result is 2.
- Subtract 22 (11 multiplied by 2) from 30 to get 8.
- Add a decimal point to the result so far (which is 2) and write the remainder 8 next to it.
- Now, divide 80 (the adjusted dividend) by 11. The result is 7.
- Subtract 77 (11 multiplied by 7) from 80 to get 3 as the new remainder.
- Continue this process until the remainder becomes zero or starts repeating.
- The final result is 0.27 with a line (or dot) above the repeating part, indicating that it keeps repeating indefinitely.
2. Calculator Method:
- If you have access to a calculator, you can simply divide 3 by 11 and get the result directly.
- When you divide 3 by 11 using a calculator, you will find that the decimal number repeats as 0.272727…, with the "27" part repeating infinitely.
So, the correct answer is 0.27 with a line (or dot) above the 27 to indicate the repeating pattern.
