A rational number is a number which can be expressed as a fraction whose numerator and denominator are both integers and whose denominator is not equal to zero. Rational numbers include all integers, fractions, mixed numbers, and some decimal numbers.

 

Note : All terminating and repeating decimal numbers are rational numbers because those numbers can be expressed as a fraction. On the other hand, a non repeating number and non terminating decimal, like square root of 2, is an irrational number.  


\dfrac{7}{16} \ as \ a \ decimal = 0.4375


Set \ up \ the \ long \ division. 


Calculate \ 70 \div 16, \ which \ is \ 4  \ with \ a \ remainder \ of \ 6.




Bring \ down \ 0, so \ that \ 60 \ is \ large \ enough \ to \ be  \ divided \ by \ 16.




Calculate \ 60 \div 16, which \ is \ 3 \ with \ a  \ remainder \ of \ 12.




Bring \ down \ 0, so \ that \ 120 \ is \ large \ enough \ to \ be \ divided \ by \ 16.




Calculate \ 120 \div 16, which \ is \ 7 \ with \ a \ remainder \ of \ 8.




Bring \ down \ 0, so \ that \ 80 \ is \ large \ enough \ to \ be \ divided \ by \ 16.



Calculate \ 80 \div 16, which \ is \ 5.

A flea weighs 8 decigrams, and an ant weighs 3 milligrams. How much more does a flea weigh than an ant?
Tasya [4]
It should be 7.97 decigrams, since you want to convert 3 milligrams to decigrams (0.03), it is asking "How much more" which means you subtract.  8 subtracted from 0.03 is 7.97.

Hope this helps :)
