convert the following fractions to decimals a)38/100 b)3/10 c)3/100

Solution

Let's convert each fraction to a decimal:

a) 38100\frac{38}{100}
To convert 38100\frac{38}{100} to a decimal, divide the numerator (38) by the denominator (100):

38100=0.38\frac{38}{100} = 0.38

b) 310\frac{3}{10}
To convert 310\frac{3}{10} to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (10):

310=0.3\frac{3}{10} = 0.3

c) 3100\frac{3}{100}
To convert 3100\frac{3}{100} to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (100):

3100=0.03\frac{3}{100} = 0.03

Summary:

  • a) 38100=0.38\frac{38}{100} = 0.38
  • b) 310=0.3\frac{3}{10} = 0.3
