Question

Convert 5 2\5 to decimals by the long division method.

Answer 1

Ans is 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. firstly convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction i.e. 27/5.

2. now divide the dividend i.e.27 by 5(divisor)

so if we do calculation, 27 will go with 25 i.e. 5X5=25, so 27-25=2.

3. now 2 is left as remainder and quotient is 5.

in quotient after 5 put decimal (.) and then in remainder part put 0 so 2 and 0 it becomes 20..

4. now in the table of 5 , 20 comes in 4th place so 4 is a quotient . i.e.5X4=20 , so 20-20=00..

5. Division is completed

Ans is 5.4
