Question

How to convert a fraction to a decimal?

Like 13 6/7

Answer 1

Divide 7 into 6 or use a calculator.

Answer 2

what would you do with the 13?

Answer 3

put a point after it.

Answer 4

so 13.8 R 4

Answer 5

Well, the whole number part will appear before the decimal, and the fractional part is the result of dividing the numerator by the denominator.

e.g.

\(6/7 = .\bar8\bar5\bar7\bar1\bar4\bar2\)
13 and 6/7 = 13.857142857142

Answer 6

Have u got a calculator?

Answer 7

If u put 6 divided by 7 u get

.857142857142

Put the 13 in front of that.

Answer 8

i forgot to put some of the question
Convert fraction to decimal (or mixed decimal and round to nearest hundredth)

Answer 9

Ok, the first figure after the point is tenths and the second is hunderedths and so on.

Answer 10

So u are interested in the first 2 digits after the point.

But there is a rule for rounding -- look at the digit next to the 5, if it is 5 or more then u change the 5 into a 6.

Answer 11

So 13.857....becomes 13.86 to the nearest hundredth (also known as 2 decimal places because there are 2 places after the point).
