Question

Write the following as decimal:

$\frac{12}{50}$

Answer 1

Conversion of fractional form into the decimal form:

Given, that the fraction is $\frac{12}{50}$

(Here convert the denominator in the power of 10 i.e, 10 or 100 or 1000)

$\Rightarrow \frac{12\times 2}{50\times 2}=\frac{24}{100}$

Now, Write the numerator of a required fraction and put the decimal point by leaving as many digits from the right as there are zeros in the denominator of the given fraction.

$\Rightarrow \frac{24}{100}=0.24$ (Putting decimal by leaving 2 digit from right)

Thus, $0.24$ is required decimal number.
