How do you turns fraction into a decimal?
Divide the denominator into the numerator.
How do you express a fraction as a decimal?
Divide the numerator by the denominator and express it as a decimal number (it may not be an exact number, so you may have to decide the number of decimal places). Examples: For the fraction 1/2, you would divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (2) and the answer turns out to be a decimal, exactly 0.5 For 5/8, the decimal is exactly 0.625 For 1/3, the decimal repeats, so it could be 0.33 or 0.3333 (repeats infinitely)
How many 16th's are there in 50.8 cm?
Multiply 50.8 by 16 to get 812.8 16ths of 50.8 cm, but since you can't have decimal value for the fraction of the value, it turns out to be impossible since you can't have a fraction of 16ths!
Why is point nine repeating equal to one?
To answer that question we should first talk about why any non-termination decimal number is equal to whatever it is. And to talk about that, we should first talk about the value of ordinary terminating decimals. Consider a terminating decimal, say 0.314. This decimal represents the sum of the fractions 3/10 + 1/100 + 4/1000; and longer (but still terminating) decimals can be computed in a similar way. But how do we decide what value a non-terminating decimal represents, say 0.314159265458979... and so on with a never-ending sequence of digits? By analogy, it should be equal to 3/10 + 1/100 + 4/1000 + 1/10,000 + ... and so on; but how can we figure out what such a never-ending sum adds up to? Well, one way of looking at it is as follows: Whatever value the decimal has, we know that (say)0.314 is off by no more than 0.001, since 0.314159... - 0.314 = 0.000159..., and 0.000159... is clearly < 0.001. Likewise, 0.3141 is off by no more than 0.0001, and 0.31415 is off by no more than 0.00001, and so on. In other words, the sequence of (terminating) decimals, 0.3, 0.31, 0.314, 0.3141, 0.31415, etc. gives us a list of better and better approximations to the ultimate value of the non-terminating decimal; and in fact by taking enough decimal places, the error in the approximation can be made as small as you like. If you've studied calculus, you may recognize this sort of discussion--it means that the value of the non-terminating decimal acts like the limit of the sequence of terminating decimals. In fact, it just *is* the limit of the sequence. So mathematicians have chosen to define the value of a non-terminating decimal as the limit of the sequence of approximations. Now we can talk about the specific case of 0.9 repeating: It turns out that the limit of the sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ... is just equal to 1, exactly (which should not be too hard to convince yourself of) and therefore the value of the non-terminating decimal 0.9 repeating is, by definition, equal to 1.
How do you change 1.71 to a percent?
you take decimal .71 and turn it into a fraction over 100 so 71/100 this is BC percents are out of 100 so that is 71 % acount the 1 in the 1.71 and that turns into 171%
How do you turns fraction into a decimal?
Divide the denominator into the numerator.
What is the decimal in 1 ounce?
One ounce turns into a fraction which would be 1/16 and that turns into .0625 as a decimal.. hope that helps..

How do you write twenty one and one hundredth as a decimal?
21.01 Think of the decimal as a fraction. The .01 could go up to .99 before it turns into a 1, so that is hundredths. Thousandths would be .001, because .001 would go up to .999 before it turns into a 1.

Can 48 go into 379?
no it turns out in a decimal
How do you change 1.71 to a percent?
you take decimal .71 and turn it into a fraction over 100 so 71/100 this is BC percents are out of 100 so that is 71 % acount the 1 in the 1.71 and that turns into 171%
What is 11.9 percent of 19.75?
The answer is 2.35025. There are two easy ways to find the answer. Either change the percent into a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left and then multiplying the decimal by 19.75, or you can set it up as a fraction equation. The equation would look like this. x/19.75 cross-multiplied by 11.9/100. It turns into (19.75x11.9)/100.
What you 2 over 3 as a decimal?
2/3 turns out to be and infinite number. The decimal form is .66666666 to infinity.
Write a decimal?
a decimal is like a percentage. how do you convert a percentage to a decimal? Well lets say we have 891%. that turns to 8.91, this is a decimal. more examples: 5.6 .970 95247.9
