12/8 = 1.5 You can do this by just dividing: 12 div 8 = 1.5 You could also use fractions and equivalent fractions to find the decimal. 12/8 = 1 4/8 = 1 1/2 Make the denominator into a power of 10. 1 1/2 = 1 5/10 = 1.5 Using a different denominator: 12/8 xx 125/125 = 1500/1000 = 15/10 = 1.5
0.125 1:8=0.125. What would be the result of dividing the diameter of a circle into 8 equal parts (expressed as a...
The structure of a decimal is: Decimal point " "darr "units" + 10^("ths") + 100^("ths")+1000^("ths") + ..and so on So lets see if we can convert 1/2 as one of these. Multiply by 1 and you do not change the actual value.
#color(brown)("Changing this to a decimal")# We have: #50/100# and to change this to a decimal we need to change the 100 into 1. For multiply or divide on a fraction what we do to the bottom we also do to the top.
A percent is a value given out of #100# #37 1/2% = 37.5%# As a fraction: # 37.5/100# To simplify multiply by #10/10# to get rid of the decimal.
A decimal is another way to write a fraction whose denominator is a power of #10#, so if you want to change a fraction to decimal first thing is to see if you can reduce or expand the fraction to get such denominator: In this case to get a deniminator of #10# you only have to multiply numerator and denominator by #5#
See explanation. To change a fraction into a decimal we can look for a way to expand a fraction so that the new denominator is a power of 10. Here we can expand the fraction by 5: 9/2=(9*5)/(2*5)=45/10=4 5/10=4.5
3 1/2=3.50=350% To convert a fraction into decimal, one needs to transform it so that the fraction is a sum of fractions each or which has a denominator, which is a power of 10. 3 1/2=3 (1xx50)/(2xx50)=3 50/100=3.50 And for conversion to percentage, one needs to multiply this by 100 Hence 3 1/2=3.50=(3.50xx100)%=350%
Decimal = 0.4167 Percent = 41.67% 5/12 simply means 5 divided by 12. So 5/12 = 0.4167 If you are not given a calculator to find the answer, then use long division. To get percentage, you need to multiply the decimal answer by 100%: (5/12)*100%=41.67 %
You would have been told the shortcut way of just dividing 8 into 5. Easy if you have a calculator. Sometimes not so if you have to do it manually. What follows is just one method out of several. There some fractions that it is advisable that you commit their decimal equivalents to memory. This is one of them. Known: #1/8=0.125# So #5/8 ...
