How do i write a fraction or a mixed number as a decimal?

1 answer:

8 0

A decimal is a number divided by 10: 0.x = x/10, whatever the x number might be. If the "decimal" has more digits, then is divided by 100, 1000, and so forth: 0.0y = y/100, 0.00z = z/1000

So the trick for a mixed number to be written as a decimal is first to write the mixed number as a fraction, then, when you have a fraction, you need to make the denominator of the fraction equal to 10, 100, 1000, 10000, etc, and then you have it done.

For example, 4/25 as decimal is:
(4/25) = (4*4)/(25*4)
= 16/100, and that is = 0.16

On the first of the Food Dr., Miss Teasley’s class brought in six cans of fruit for cans of beans send boxes of noodles and four

VARVARA [1.3K]

What I understand from the question is :

Class brought cans of fruit = six

Cans of beans = four

Boxes of noodles = seven

Cans of Soup = four

Ratio of cans of fruit to the total number of food items = ?

Total number of food items = 6 + 4 + 7 + 4 = 21

Cans of fruits : Total number of food items

6 : 21 = 2 : 7

So the ratio of cans of fruit to the total number of food items is 2 : 7

It means two out of every seven food items the class brought is can of fruits.

Omar has 2 3/4 cups of dough to make dumplings. If he uses 3/16 cups of dough for each dumpling, how many whole dumplings can Om

Llana [10]

Answer: Omar can make 14 whole dumplings.

Step-by-step explanation: Make 2 3/4 an improper fraction. To do this, multiply 2 by the denominator, 4. From this, you get 8. Then add 8 to the numerator, which is 3, and you get 11. Keep the denominator and you'll have 11/4.

To divide fractions, you make 3/16 its reciprocal by basically flipping the fraction so that the numerator becomes the denominator and vise versa, making it 16/3. Then multiply 11/4 and 16/3. 11 x 16 is 176; 4 x 3 is 12. The result is 176/12. Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4. Your resulting answer should be 44/3. Simplify even further by simple division. Your final answer should be 14 2/3. Discard the 2/3 because Omar needs to make whole dumplings. So the answer is 14.
