The answer would be 0.90
The easiest way to think of decimals is in terms of something over 100.
For example:
You want to figure out 2 over 5 in decimal form.
1. Multiply the denominator by something so it equals 100.
5 x _ = 100
5 x 20 = 100
2. Multiply the numerator by the same number you multiplied the denominator by.
2 x 20 = 40
3. Put them together in fraction form.
40/100
4. Take the new numerator and move the decimal place two to the right.
40.0 = 0.40
Now you have you answer: .40
I hope that wasn't too complicated. I'm not very good at explaining things.
If anything, you can use a calculator and just divide the numerator by the denominator. :)

Luis starts to do a division problem and notices that there is a pattern in the digits to the right of the decimal point?
The pattern could be that of recurring decimals.
What is a terminal decimal in math?
A terminal decimal - is one with a finite solution. For example, 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125 The value of Pi as a decimal could never be a terminal decimal, as the solution goes on indefinitely.
What are repeating and non repeating decimals?
A repeating decimal is a decimal that, well, repeats itself! Like .33333333333333....... The threes never end, they just keep going. Non-reapeting are decimals like .5 or .3 or .57. They end! :)
What is a decimal number greater than 0.5 and less than 0.6?
there are infinite numbers between these decimals. you could have .51 .511 .5111 .51111 .51928471289347 .5918237498 .59283759823758923 as long as you keep making the number greater. all these numbers are decimals between. 0.5 and 0.6
A n integer is greater than 0?
Not always because it could be less than 0 as for example -3 because an integer is a whole number without decimals or fractions
Could remainders go with decimals?
no, there would be absolutely no place to put them in your decimal.
Could the set of rational numbers include all decimals?
No, they could not. Irrational numbers are also decimal numbers.
What is the purpose for leaving decimals at the end of a number?
Leaving decimals at the end of a number is to give more accuracy. Sometimes it is needed, sometimes its not though. For example: 8-4= 4. This is a simple subtract sum that needs no decimals. But when working out a sum such as 6/4= 1.5 a decimal is needed. All a decimal shows is a point between two numbers. 1.5 is directly in the middle of 1 and 2. This could be rounded up to 2 but using a decimal makes it more accurate.
What is the difference between decimal and fraction?
All decimals are worked in devisions of 10. Fraction can be a division of any number.
Do integers numbers have decimals?
An integer is a "whole number". The only way it can have a decimal is if the decimal part is all nothing but zeros. Then you could erase the decimal part and it wouldn't change the value of the number.
What two decimals are equivalent to the given decimals?
That all depends upon what are the given decimals. For example, 0.01 is equivalent to .01. You can leave the zero off before the decimal point, and it is still equivalent. However, 0.01 is not equivalent to 0.010. The extra zero to the right of the 1 indicates greater precision. For example, 0.01 could be 0.014 or 0.008. Either one rounds to 0.01. However, neither one rounds to 0.010.
How do you convert decimals into decimals?
Writing A Fraction As A Decimal-- Divide the numerator by the denominator. Example-two fifths. Divide 5 into 2. You will notice that you cant divide it, so you add a decimal and a zero to the number inside. If you do it right, You should've gotten 0.4 as your decimal you are suppose to divide the denominator by the numerator

What are some examples of decimals in real life?
I dont know if this is what you mean but an example of a decimal in real life would like.. if you go to the store and something costs $3.00 and then some tax added could make it.. lets say $4.09- that would be a decimal. hope that helps you! sorry if it doesnt!
What are facts about decimals?
One decimal place to the right of the decimal point is the "tenths" place, but one decimal place to the left of the decimal point is the "ones" place. The "tens" place is two places to the left.
What name is 3 periods in decimal number?
a) This could be a special numbering system, such as the Dewey Decimal System used in libraries. Such as 620.105.3.1.b) Or do you refer to repeating decimals, such as 6.304 304 304.
What is an example of how one law could explain all motion in the unverse?
Newton's F=ma is an example of a law that could explain all motion in the universe.
