Question:
Express the following rational numbers as decimals:
(i) $\frac{42}{100}$
(ii) $\frac{327}{500}$
(iii) $\frac{15}{4}$
Solution:
(i) Given rational number is $\frac{42}{100}$
Now we have to express this rational number into decimal form. So we will use long division method as below.
Hence, $\frac{42}{100}=0.42$
(ii) Given rational number is $\frac{327}{500}$
Now we have to express this rational number into decimal form. So we will use long division method as below.
Hence, $\frac{327}{500}=0.654$
(iii) Given rational number is $\frac{15}{4}$
Now we have to express this rational number into decimal form. So we will use long division method as below.
Hence, $\frac{15}{4}=3.75$
