Answer:
0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
5/25
= 20/100
[Multiplying by 4 to make the denominator 100]
= 0.20
[We count the number of zeroes in denominator and move the decimal to the left to the number of places same as the number of zeroes, in numerator. Here there are two zeroes after 1 (in 100, the denominator), so we moved the decimal to the left by two places (20.0 becomes 0.20)
P.S.- This works only when the denominator is something like 10, 100, 1000, 10000 etc.]
= 0.2 [0.20 is simplified as 0.2]
Or simply divide 5 by 25
A picture of the division is attached.
Steps:
1. Since 25 cannot divided 5, we will write a zero and a decimal in the quotient.
2. After this we will add a zero to 5, so that it becomes 50.
3. 50÷25 is 2, so write 2 in the quotient after the decimal.
4. Your answer is 0.2.
