Convert fraction to a decimal 3/8

Mathematics

Ivanshal [37]3 years ago

In order to convert a fraction into a decimal, you can do one of two ways. I'll do the manual way, first since that's probably what your teacher would prefer.

First, find something that will multiply in the denominator that will equal 10,100,1000.

In this case, it will be 1,000.

1,000 ÷ 8 = 125.

So, you will  multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 125.

3 x 1,000 = 375

8 x 125 = 1,000

Now, you have a BIG fraction of 375/1,000 but it's OKAY! Why? You're almost done.

Take your numerator of 375. Since your denominator has 3 zeros in it, you'll be moving your decimal 3 places to the right (from the imaginary decimal in front of the 3). So, we'll have 0.375.

So, your decimal of 3/8 is 0.375.

____________________________________________________

Now, for the easiest way!

You will simply divide 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Arrange the following polynomial into descending order for x, then interpret the degree of the 3rd term. 2xy4 + 2x2y − 3y2 + 10x
malfutka [58]
To arrange the given polynomial in descending order of x, we only look at the exponent of x in each term and then write it in decreasing order of the value. We do as follows:

2xy^4 + 2x^2y − 3y^2 + 10x^3<span>
10x^3 + 2x^2 + 2xy^4 - 3y^2

The degree of the third term would be 5. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables involved in the term.
