Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In converting fractions to decimals, we know that decimals are fractions with denominators 10, 100, 1000 etc. In order to convert other fractions into decimals, we follow the following steps:

Step I: Convert the fraction into an equivalent fraction with denominator 10 or 100 or 1000 if it is not so.

Step II: Take the given fraction’s numerator. Then mark the decimal point after one place or two places or three places from right towards left if the given fraction’s denominator is 10 or 100 or 1000 respectively.

Note that; insert zeroes at the left of the numerator if the numerator has fewer digits.

● To convert a fraction having 10 in the denominator, we put the decimal point one place left of the first digit in the numerator.

For example:

(i) 610

= .6 or 0.6

(ii) 1610

= 1.6

(iii) 11610

= 11.6

(iv) 111610

= 111.6
