Question

covert 19/20 to a decimal​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert this into a fraction that has a denominator of 100. In order to do so, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator both by 5 (because 20 * 5 = 100):

$\frac{19}{20}* \frac{5}{5} =\frac{95}{100}$

So, we have 95/100, which is technically 95 divided by 100. Whenever we divide something by a power of 10, like $10^n$, where n is any integer, we move the decimal point of the dividend n places to the left.

Here, we have 100, which is $10^2$, so we want to move the decimal point of 95 (which equals 95.0) 2 places to the left:

0.95
