You can either convert the decimal to a fraction and then subtract (3/4 - 0.5 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4), OR you can convert the fraction to a decimal and then subtract (3/4 - 0.5 = 0.75 - 0.5 = 0.25).

What is 2.66667 as a fraction?

To convert 2.66667 to a fraction, we first note that the decimal repeats, indicating a recurring decimal. To convert a recurring decimal to a fraction, we can set it as x and subtract it from 10x to eliminate the repeating decimal. This gives us 10x - x = 9x = 26.66667. Therefore, 2.66667 as a fraction is 24/9, which simplifies to 8/3.


Is 1.33333 an irrational number?

thereNO!!! Because you can convert it to a quotient(fraction). However, 1.33333 is a terminal decimal . To indicate it is a decimal to infinity , it is written as 1.33333... Note the use of the 'three or more dots'. 1.33333 Terminal decimal to a fraction is 1 33333/100000 Horrible I know Ugh!!!!! 1.33333... as a decimal to inifinity to a fraction ;- Let P - 1.33333.... Then 10P = 13.33333.... Subtract 9P = 12 ( Note the deciamsl subtract to 'zero' ) P = 12/9 P = 1 3/9 P = 1 1/3 The answer!!!! 0


How do you we subtract fraction with whole numbers?

either convert the fraction into a decimal or the integer into a fraction. For example if you were attempting to subtract 1/3 from 2, you could either turn 1/3 into 0.3 repeating (by dividing 1 into three) or by turning 2 into 6/3, by placing the denominator from the fraction below the whole number, than multiplying the whole number by its new denominator, thus effectively converting it into a fraction. To subtract 1/3 from 6/3, simply subtract 1 from 6, and keep the denominator (5/3). If you opted to convert the fraction into a decimal earlier, simply subtract the 0.3 repeating from the 2, thinking of the 2 as its other representative, 2.0 repeating, solving to 1.6 repeating (ending eventually in an imaginary 7)


What is 0.4545454545 as a fraction?

Ah, what a happy little question we have here. If we look closely, we can see that 0.4545454545 is a repeating decimal.

What is negative 6.8 repeating decimal as a fraction?

To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, let x = -6.8. Multiply the repeating decimal by a power of 10 to eliminate the repeating part. Therefore, 10x = -68.8888.... Subtract the original equation from this to get 9x = -75, which simplifies to x = -75/9. Thus, the fraction form of -6.8 repeating decimal is -75/9.
