How do you turn 11 over 16 into a decimal?

Answer 1

Fraction 11/16

Decimal 0.6875

As a fraction .11/16. it means '11' divided by 16'.

On a calculator type in '11' , 'divide', '16' , 'equals(=)'. and the above answer will come on the screen 0.6875.

Manually. set up division bracket.

16)11.000000 (Note insertion of decimal point and a string of zeroes).

Then say ' 16 in to 11; won't go'. So '0' in answer followed by decimal point

16)11.0000 = 0.

Then think 11.0 as 110 and say '16' in '110' goes 6' times (=96 remainder '14'

Hence answer becomes

16)11.0000 = 0. 6

String on the next '0' to male '140' and say ' 16' into '140' goes '8' times ( = 128 remainder 12

Hence answer becomes

16)11.0000 = 0.68

String on the next '0' to male '120' and say ' 16' into '120' goes '7' times ( = 112 remainder 8

Hence answer becomes

16)11.0000 = 0.687

String on the next '0' to male '80' and say ' 16' into '80' goes '5' times ( = 80 remainder 0

Hence answer becomes

16)11.0000 = 0.6875

NB Once the remainder becomes zero(0), then you have the full correct answer, and cannot proceed any further.

NNB For any fraction ' a/b' it means 'a' divided by 'b'.

Answer 2

If you know that the decimal equivalent of 1/16 is 0.0625 (1/8 is 0.125), then just multiply that by 11 and you get 0.6875.
