Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll convert each fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). If the decimal repeats or goes on too long, we’ll round it to 3 digits as instructed.

---

1. 7/15

Divide 7 ÷ 15:

15 goes into 7 zero times → 0.
Add decimal point and zeros: 7.000

15 × 4 = 60 → subtract from 70 → remainder 10
Bring down 0 → 100
15 × 6 = 90 → subtract → remainder 10
Bring down 0 → 100 again → same thing!

So it’s 0.4666... → rounded to 3 digits: 0.467

---

2. 2/8

Simplify first: 2 ÷ 2 = 1, 8 ÷ 2 = 4 → so 1/4

1 ÷ 4 = 0.25 → already exact → 0.250 (we can write 3 digits if needed)

But since it says “round to 3 digits if necessary”, and 0.25 is exact, we can write 0.25 — but to be safe with 3 digits, let’s write 0.250

Actually, 0.25 is fine — but worksheet may expect 3 digits? Let’s check others.

Wait — 2/8 = 0.25 exactly → so 0.25 is acceptable. But to match format, maybe write 0.250? I think 0.25 is okay. But let’s see what the instruction says: “round to 3 digits if necessary” — not required if exact. So 0.25 is fine. But for consistency, perhaps write all with up to 3 digits.

Actually, let’s do this: if it terminates before 3 digits, just write it as is. If it repeats or needs rounding, round to 3.

So 2/8 = 0.25 → 0.25

But let me double-check: 2 ÷ 8 = 0.25 → yes.

---

3. 4/8

Same as 1/2 → 0.5 → 0.5

Or 0.500? Again, not necessary. But to be consistent, maybe write 0.500? No — instruction says “if necessary”. So 0.5 is fine.

But let’s look at other problems — some will need 3 digits. For now, I’ll write exact decimals without extra zeros unless needed.

Actually, let’s standardize: if the decimal has fewer than 3 digits and is exact, leave it. If it’s repeating or longer, round to 3.

So:

3. 4/8 = 0.5 → 0.5

---

4. 7/10

7 ÷ 10 = 0.7 → 0.7

---

5. 10/12

Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 2 → 5/6

Now 5 ÷ 6:

6 into 5.0 → 0.8333...

Because: 6×8=48 → 50-48=2 → bring down 0 → 20 → 6×3=18 → remainder 2 → repeats.

So 0.8333... → rounded to 3 digits: 0.833

---

6. 2/7

2 ÷ 7:

7 into 2.0000

7×2=14 → 20-14=6 → bring down 0 → 60
7×8=56 → 60-56=4 → bring down 0 → 40
7×5=35 → 40-35=5 → bring down 0 → 50
7×7=49 → 50-49=1 → etc.

So: 0.285714... → repeating every 6 digits.

To 3 digits: look at 4th digit is 7 → which is ≥5 → so round up 3rd digit (5 becomes 6)

Wait: 0.2857... → 3rd digit is 5, 4th is 7 → so round up 5 to 6 → 0.286

---

7. 4/5

4 ÷ 5 = 0.8 → 0.8

---

8. 2/14

Simplify: divide by 2 → 1/7

1 ÷ 7 = 0.142857... repeating

To 3 digits: 0.142857 → 3rd digit is 2, 4th is 8 → round up 2 to 3? Wait:

Digits: 0.142857...

Position: 1st:1, 2nd:4, 3rd:2, 4th:8 → so round 2 up because next digit 8≥5 → becomes 0.143

Yes → 0.143

---

9. 4/9

4 ÷ 9 = 0.4444... → repeating

To 3 digits: 0.444 → since 4th digit is 4 <5, no rounding → 0.444

---

10. 5/11

5 ÷ 11:

11 into 5.0000

11×4=44 → 50-44=6 → bring down 0 → 60
11×5=55 → 60-55=5 → bring down 0 → 50 → same as start → repeats: 0.454545...

So 0.4545... → to 3 digits: 3rd digit is 4, 4th is 5 → round up 4 to 5 → 0.455

Wait: positions: 1st:4, 2nd:5, 3rd:4, 4th:5 → so 3rd digit is 4, next is 5 → round up → 0.455

Yes.

---

11. 1/3

1 ÷ 3 = 0.3333... → to 3 digits: 0.333

---

12. 2/4

Simplify: 1/2 = 0.5 → 0.5

---

13. 5/6

5 ÷ 6 = 0.8333... → same as #5 → 0.833

---

14. 8/13

8 ÷ 13:

13 into 8.0000

13×6=78 → 80-78=2 → bring down 0 → 20
13×1=13 → 20-13=7 → bring down 0 → 70
13×5=65 → 70-65=5 → bring down 0 → 50
13×3=39 → 50-39=11 → etc.

So: 0.61538...

To 3 digits: 0.615 → 4th digit is 3 <5 → so 0.615

Wait: let's compute step by step:

8.0000 ÷ 13

13 * 0.6 = 7.8 → subtract from 8.0 → 0.2 → bring down 0 → 2.0 → better to do long division properly.

Actually:

13 ) 8.0000

13 goes into 80 (after decimal) 6 times → 6*13=78 → subtract → 2

Bring down 0 → 20 → 13 goes into 20 once → 1*13=13 → subtract → 7

Bring down 0 → 70 → 13*5=65 → subtract → 5

Bring down 0 → 50 → 13*3=39 → subtract → 11

So far: 0.6153...

So 0.6153 → to 3 digits: look at 4th digit is 3 → less than 5 → so 0.615

Yes.

---

15. 7/11

7 ÷ 11:

11 into 7.0000

11×6=66 → 70-66=4 → bring down 0 → 40
11×3=33 → 40-33=7 → bring down 0 → 70 → same as start → repeats: 0.636363...

So 0.6363... → to 3 digits: 3rd digit is 6, 4th is 3 → no rounding → 0.636

Wait: positions: 1st:6, 2nd:3, 3rd:6, 4th:3 → so 3rd digit is 6, next is 3<5 → so 0.636

Yes.

---

16. 4/6

Simplify: 2/3 → 2÷3=0.6666... → to 3 digits: 0.667 (since 4th digit is 6≥5, round up 6 to 7)

Wait: 0.6666... → 3rd digit is 6, 4th is 6 → round up → 0.667

Yes.

---

17. 1/4

1÷4=0.25 → 0.25

---

18. 2/10

2÷10=0.2 → 0.2

---

Now let’s list all answers clearly:

1. 7/15 = 0.467
2. 2/8 = 0.25
3. 4/8 = 0.5
4. 7/10 = 0.7
5. 10/12 = 0.833
6. 2/7 = 0.286
7. 4/5 = 0.8
8. 2/14 = 0.143
9. 4/9 = 0.444
10. 5/11 = 0.455
11. 1/3 = 0.333
12. 2/4 = 0.5
13. 5/6 = 0.833
14. 8/13 = 0.615
15. 7/11 = 0.636
16. 4/6 = 0.667
17. 1/4 = 0.25
18. 2/10 = 0.2

I think that’s all. Let me double-check a few tricky ones.

#6: 2/7 ≈ 0.2857 → rounded to 3 digits: 0.286 ✔️
#8: 2/14 = 1/7 ≈ 0.142857 → rounded to 3 digits: 0.143 ✔️
#10: 5/11 ≈ 0.4545 → rounded to 3 digits: 0.455 ✔️
#16: 4/6 = 2/3 ≈ 0.6666 → rounded to 3 digits: 0.667 ✔️
#14: 8/13 ≈ 0.61538 → 0.615 ✔️

All good.
