Fraction Decimals
1. The problem involves converting fractions to decimal form using division.
2. For the first example, $\frac{2}{9}$, the long division shows the quotient as approximately $0.22$.
3. To find $\frac{23}{50}$ as a decimal, divide 23 by 50:
$$\frac{23}{50} = 0.46$$
4. For $-\frac{1}{33}$, the handwritten decimal is approximately $-0.03$.
5. The general rule is to divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal equivalent.
6. Note that some fractions result in repeating decimals, like $\frac{2}{9} = 0.222\ldots$ which is often rounded to $0.22$ for simplicity.
7. Summary:
- $\frac{2}{9} \approx 0.22$
- $\frac{23}{50} = 0.46$
- $-\frac{1}{33} \approx -0.03$
This shows how to convert fractions to decimals using division.
