not using a calculator.

First you divide 7 by 2 getting 3.5. Than move the dot one step to the left getting 0.35 or .35.

Then multiply numerator and denominator by 5

Guys, try to teach someone how to do this instead of telling them to use a calculator

anonymous · Answer

You'll get 35/100 or 35 100ths.

anonymous · Answer

@RagingSquirrel seriously? Teach 7/20?  I can explain a process or avenue to take.  But I'm not going to waste time "teaching" 7/20.

anonymous · Answer

Since dividing by 100, move the decimal two places to the left from the whole number 35 to convert to decimal.

@RagingSquirrel  Respectfully, having sites like these effectively paves the way for "easy routes".  That said, I get your gist. But I'm not going to assume the boy in the pic is 9.
