Simple! One eighth is the same as 0.125 so multiply thar by five(0.625)and make it negative A: -0.625
.125
If you know how to turn a mixed number into a fraction and a fraction into a decimal do that then make it negative.
-1 = -1.00000
Exact same if there was no negative sign, the number is the number.
You convert the fraction do decimal exactly as you would a positive fraction. Then you stick a minus sign in front.
You look at the denominator first. Then you try to find out what exponents make the denominator. After doing that, you add a negative symbol to the smaller number on the exponent.
no. obviously there are two one eighth to make one two eighth
The exponent tells you how many spaces to move the decimal, remember to add zeros as needed. If the exponent is negative make it a decimal number less than one by moving the decimal to the left. If the exponent is positive make the decimal number greater than one by moving the decimal to the right.
Because money uses decimal values.The stock market used to divide the price of a share into by half, fourth, eighth, sixteenth of a dollar (or pound, presumably). A fourth of a dollar is 25 cents, but an eighth is 12 and a half cents. Since we never make a purchase of a half of a cent, it was logical to use round cents.
If you rearrange the letter of EIGHTH, you can make the word HEIGHT
Just divide 5 by 8.
