Question

Fraction `7/25` is equal to the decimal number ______.

Answer 1

Fraction`7/25` is equal to the decimal number 0.28.

Explanation:

In order to convert fraction into decimal, we first convert it into an equivalent fraction with denominator 10 or 100 or 1000 and then write its numerator and mark decimal point after one place or two place or three places from right towards left if the denominator is 10 or 100 or 1000, respectively.

If the numerator is short of digits, insert zeroes at the left of the numerator.

∴ `7/25 = (7 xx 4)/(25 xx 4) = 28/100 = 0.28`
