Answer 3

i just need 3/7 into decimal

Answer 4

lol well let me assume they don't want you to round it off... then waht you gotta do is say : 3/7 is the same as (3000000000/7) /1000000000 and you can solve for 3000000000/7 using long division (it looks crazy but its actually simple. When you have an answer move the decimal 9 places to the left (i.e dividing by 1000000000)

Answer 5

if they wanted 4 decimal places you could replace the 9 0's by 4 0's

Answer 6
