<h2>Answer:</h2>

import java.util.Scanner;

public class FractionToDecimal {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

       

       System.out.println("Please enter the numerator");

       double numerator = input.nextDouble();

       System.out.println("Please enter the denominator");

       double denominator = input.nextDouble();

       

       if(denominator == 0){

           System.err.println("ERROR - Cannot divide by zero.");

       }

       else {

           System.out.println("The result is " + (numerator/denominator));

       }

       

   }

   

}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

// import the Scanner class to allow for user input

import java.util.Scanner;

// 1. Declare a class

public class FractionToDecimal {

   // 2. Write the main method

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       

       // 3. Create an object of the Scanner class called <em>input</em>

       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

       

       // 4. Prompt the user to supply the numerator

       System.out.println("Please enter the numerator");

       

       // 5. Declare and initialize a variable <em>numerator </em>to hold the numerator

       // supplied by the user.

       // The numerator is of type double since the program does not

       // specify any. With a double both integer and floating point numbers

       // will be supported.

       double numerator = input.nextDouble();

       

       // 6. Prompt the user to enter the denominator

       System.out.println("Please enter the denominator");

       // 7. Declare and initialize a variable <em>denominator </em>to hold the

       // denominator supplied by the user.

       // The denominator is also of type double since the program does not

       // specify any. With a double, both integer and floating point numbers

       // will be supported.

       double denominator = input.nextDouble();

       // 8. Check if the denominator is or is not zero.

       // if it is zero, display an error message        

       if(denominator == 0){

           System.err.println("ERROR - Cannot divide by zero.");

       }

       // if it is not zero, then print out the result of the division

       else {

           System.out.println("The result is " + (numerator/denominator));

       }

       

   }                       // end of main method

   

}                            // end of class declaration

Please Note:

The code above has been written in Java.

The explanation segment contains comments to explain every line of the code.

But a few things are still worth noting;

i. Dividing the numerator by the denominator will convert a fraction to decimal.

ii. The object of the Scanner class <em>input </em> is used to get the inputs (numerator and denominator) from the user. Since the inputs are going to be integers or doubles, the nextDouble() method of the the Scanner class is used.

iii. If the denominator is zero, an error message will be displayed. I have used the System.err.println() method for that rather than the regular System.out.println() method. The difference is that the former will print out the error text in red color.

iv. Notice also that the else statement in the code will perform the division and also print out the result of the division along side with some text.

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

A painting company has determined that for every 115 square feet or wall space, one gallon of paint and eight hours of labor wil
Kay [80]

The program to calculate the total paint cost and other values is given below.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {  

 int rooms, laborChrg = 18;

 float paintChrg;

 float feetPerRoom[rooms];  

 float paintReq, laborHrs, paintCost, laborCost, totalCost, totalsqft=0;  

 cout<<"Enter the number of rooms to be painted "<<endl;

 cin>>rooms;  

 for(int i=0; i <= rooms; i++)

 {

 cout<<"Enter the square feet in room "<<endl;

 cin>>feetPerRoom[i];  

 // shortcut operator which is equivalent to totalsqft = totalsqft +     feetPerRoom[i];

 totalsqft += feetPerRoom[i];

 }  

 cout<<"Enter the cost of the paint per gallon "<<endl;

 cin>>paintChrg;  

 laborHrs = (totalsqft/115)*8;

 laborCost = laborHrs * laborChrg;  

 paintReq = totalsqft/115;

 paintCost = paintReq * paintChrg;  

 totalCost = laborCost + paintCost;  

 cout<<"The number of gallons of paint required "<<paintReq<<endl;

 cout<<"The hours of labor required "<<laborHrs<<endl;

 cout<<"The cost of the paint is "<<paintCost<<endl;

 cout<<"The labor charges are "<<laborHrs<<endl;

 cout<<"The Total cost of the paint job is "<<totalCost<<endl;  

 return 0;

}

Explanation:

The header files for input and output are imported.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

All the variables are taken as float except labour charge per hour and number of rooms.

The user is asked to input the number of rooms to be painted. An array holds the square feet in each room to be painted.

cout<<"Enter the number of rooms to be painted "<<endl;

cin>>rooms;  

for(int i=0; i <= rooms; i++)

{

cout<<"Enter the square feet in room "<<endl;

cin>>feetPerRoom[i];  

totalsqft += feetPerRoom[i];

}  

The above code asks for square feet in each room and calculates the total square feet to be painted simultaneously.

All the data to be displayed is calculated based on the values of labor charge per hour and gallons of paint needed, given in the question.

laborHrs = (totalsqft/115)*8;

laborCost = laborHrs * laborChrg;

paintReq = totalsqft/115;

paintCost = paintReq * paintChrg;

totalCost = laborCost + paintCost;

All the calculated values are displayed in the mentioned order.
