Step-by-step solution for: Converting Fractions to from Decimals Worksheets - Math Monks
Let's solve each of the fractions on the "Fractions to Decimals Worksheet" step by step and convert them into decimal numbers.
---
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). You can use long division or a calculator.
---
Now let’s go through each one:
---
$$
3 ÷ 10 = 0.3
$$
✔ Answer: 0.3
---
Simplify first:
$ \frac{16}{40} = \frac{2}{5} $ (divide numerator and denominator by 8)
Now:
$ 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4 $
✔ Answer: 0.4
---
This is already over 100, so:
$$
\frac{58}{100} = 0.58
$$
✔ Answer: 0.58
---
Simplify: $ \frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10} $
$ 3 ÷ 10 = 0.3 $
✔ Answer: 0.3
---
Divide: $ 4 ÷ 9 = 0.\overline{4} $ (repeating decimal)
$$
= 0.4444\ldots
$$
✔ Answer: 0.4̅ or 0.444...
---
$ 1 ÷ 3 = 0.\overline{3} $
✔ Answer: 0.3̅ or 0.333...
---
$ 11 ÷ 4 = 2.75 $
✔ Answer: 2.75
---
$ 20 ÷ 3 = 6.\overline{6} $ → $ 6.666... $
✔ Answer: 6.6̅ or 6.666...
---
$ 50 ÷ 3 = 16.\overline{6} $ → $ 16.666... $
✔ Answer: 16.6̅ or 16.666...
---
Simplify: $ \frac{100}{22} = \frac{50}{11} $
Now divide: $ 50 ÷ 11 = 4.\overline{54} $ → $ 4.545454... $
✔ Answer: 4.5̅4̅ or 4.5454...
---
Simplify: Divide numerator and denominator by 10 → $ \frac{100}{17} $
Now: $ 100 ÷ 17 ≈ 5.88235294... $
It's a repeating decimal but not simple. Let's compute:
$$
100 ÷ 17 ≈ 5.88235294117647...
$$
Rounded to 4 decimal places: 5.8824
But since it's exact, we can write:
✔ Answer: ≈ 5.8824 (or leave as repeating if needed)
---
$ 1 ÷ 28 ≈ 0.0357142857... $
Repeats every 6 digits: $ 0.\overline{035714} $
✔ Answer: ≈ 0.0357 (rounded to 4 decimals)
---
$ 9 ÷ 14 ≈ 0.6428571428... $
Repeats: $ 0.\overline{642857} $
✔ Answer: ≈ 0.6429 (rounded)
---
$ 7 ÷ 22 = 0.\overline{31818} $ → $ 0.3181818... $
✔ Answer: 0.3̅1̅8̅ or ≈ 0.3182
---
Simplify: $ \frac{8}{34} = \frac{4}{17} $
Now: $ 4 ÷ 17 ≈ 0.235294117... $
Repeats: $ 0.\overline{235294117647} $
✔ Answer: ≈ 0.2353
---
Simplify: $ \frac{18}{16} = \frac{9}{8} $
$ 9 ÷ 8 = 1.125 $
✔ Answer: 1.125
---
$ 22 ÷ 13 ≈ 1.692307692... $
Repeats: $ 1.\overline{692307} $
✔ Answer: ≈ 1.6923
---
Simplify: $ \frac{52}{14} = \frac{26}{7} $
Now: $ 26 ÷ 7 ≈ 3.714285714... $
Repeats: $ 3.\overline{714285} $
✔ Answer: ≈ 3.7143
