Answer 1

The correct option is B 0.52

First, convert $\frac{13}{25}$ into a fraction with denominator 100.

$\frac{13}{25}=\frac{13\times 4}{25\times 4}=\frac{52}{100}$

Now, to convert the fraction into decimal, divide the numerator by 100.

Division by 100 means, the decimal point jumps to the left by 2 places.

$\therefore \frac{52}{100}=0.52$
