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.
