Answer 2

17/40 is converted to decimal form as 0.425.

To convert the given 17/40 to decimal form we have to just convert the denominator to either 100 or 1000 which ever seems comfortable when we do the calculations.

If we convert the denominator to 100 then we have to multiply the numerator and denominator with decimal values which would be a bit difficult.

So we multiply both numerator and denominator by 25, so that we get 1000 in denominator.

(17×25)/(40×25) = 425/1000

As there ar 3 zeros in 1000 so we shift the decimal point by three places from right for the numerator.

so we get 0.425
