Question

Convert given fraction to decimal:

$\frac{195}{500}$.

Answer 1

Step 1- Converting the denominator in the multiple of $10$.

$\frac{195}{500}=\frac{195÷5}{500÷5}=\frac{39}{100}$

Step 2- Converting it into decimal form

We know that, to convert a fraction to a decimal, the power of ten in the denominator decides the number of decimal places.

$\frac{39}{100}=\frac{39}{{10}^2}$.

Here, $10$ have a power $2$.

Therefore, we put the decimal after $2$ places from the right side.

So, the decimal form will be $0.39$.
