(ii) $\frac{327}{500}$

(iii) $\frac{15}{4}$

Answer 1

(i) Given rational number is

Now we have to express this rational number into decimal form. So we will use long division method as below.

Hence,

(ii) Given rational number is

Now we have to express this rational number into decimal form. So we will use long division method as below.

Hence,

(iii) Given rational number is

Now we have to express this rational number into decimal form. So we will use long division method as below.

Hence, $\frac{15}{4}=3.75$
