Fraction To Decimal
1. The problem is to convert the fractions $\frac{5}{8}$, $\frac{5}{6}$, and $\frac{9}{22}$ into decimal form.
2. The formula to convert a fraction to a decimal is to divide the numerator by the denominator: $$\text{Decimal} = \frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}}$$
3. Let's perform the division for each fraction step-by-step.
4. For $\frac{5}{8}$:
- Divide 5 by 8.
- 8 goes into 5 zero times, so we add a decimal point and zero: 0.
- Multiply 0 by 8 = 0, subtract from 5 gives remainder 5.
- Bring down 0 to make 50.
- 8 goes into 50 six times (6 x 8 = 48), remainder 2.
- Bring down 0 to make 20.
- 8 goes into 20 two times (2 x 8 = 16), remainder 4.
- Bring down 0 to make 40.
- 8 goes into 40 five times (5 x 8 = 40), remainder 0.
- So, $\frac{5}{8} = 0.625$.
5. For $\frac{5}{6}$:
- Divide 5 by 6.
- 6 goes into 5 zero times, so 0.
- Add decimal point and zero: 0.
- Multiply 0 by 6 = 0, subtract from 5 gives remainder 5.
- Bring down 0 to make 50.
- 6 goes into 50 eight times (8 x 6 = 48), remainder 2.
- Bring down 0 to make 20.
- 6 goes into 20 three times (3 x 6 = 18), remainder 2.
- This remainder repeats, so the decimal repeats 3.
- So, $\frac{5}{6} = 0.8\overline{3}$ (0.8333... repeating).
6. For $\frac{9}{22}$:
- Divide 9 by 22.
- 22 goes into 9 zero times, so 0.
- Add decimal point and zero: 0.
- Multiply 0 by 22 = 0, subtract from 9 gives remainder 9.
- Bring down 0 to make 90.
- 22 goes into 90 four times (4 x 22 = 88), remainder 2.
- Bring down 0 to make 20.
- 22 goes into 20 zero times, remainder 20.
- Bring down 0 to make 200.
- 22 goes into 200 nine times (9 x 22 = 198), remainder 2.
- The remainder 2 repeats, so the decimal repeats 09.
- So, $\frac{9}{22} = 0.4\overline{09}$ (0.4090909... repeating).
Final answers:
- $\frac{5}{8} = 0.625$
- $\frac{5}{6} = 0.8\overline{3}$
- $\frac{9}{22} = 0.4\overline{09}$
