Answer:
Question A:
1. 1/2 = 0.5 (Terminating)
2. 5/6 = 0.833333.. (Repeating)
3. 21/3 = 1.6666666.. (Repeating)
Question B:
1. 0.6 = 3/5
2. 1.25 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
3. 0.125 = 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Write the fraction or mixed number as a terminating or repeating decimal.
In order to convert a fraction into decimal, the numerator has to be divided by denominator.
1. 1/2
The answer is: 0.5 which is a terminating decimal.
2. 5/6
The answer is: 0.833333.. which is a repeating decimal.
3. 2 1/3 (assuming the question is this)
The answer is 1.6666666.. which is a repeating decimal.
B. Write the terminating decimal as fraction or mixed number i n simplest form.
1. 0.6
2. 1.25
3. 0.125
Hence,
Question A:
1. 1/2 = 0.5 (Terminating)
2. 5/6 = 0.833333.. (Repeating)
3. 21/3 = 1.6666666.. (Repeating)
Question B:
1. 0.6 = 3/5
2. 1.25 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
3. 0.125 = 1/8
Explanation:
At each step, the product of the quotient digit and the divisor is subtracted from the dividend. This gives you the new dividend.
When the quotient digit is 7, the product of 7 and 5 is subtracted from the dividend. The dividend at that point is 35, so you have 35 - 35 = 0. The 0 is the next dividend. Among other things, that tells you you're done. (Any additional quotient digits will be zero.)
