Given:
[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Required:
We need to convert the given into a decimal number.
Explanation:
8 is the divisor and 5 is the dividend.
Use the long division to divide 5 b 8.
5 is greater than 8 so 8 is not divided by 5.
Put a dot in the quotient place and add zero near 5 to make 50.
Now 50 is greater than 8.
[tex]Use\text{ }8\times6=50[/tex]
Put 6 in the quotient, 48 below 50.
Add zero near 2, we get 20.
[tex]Use\text{ }8\times2=16.[/tex]
Put 2 in the quotient, 16 below 20.
Add zero near 4, we get 40.
[tex]Use\text{ }8\times5=40.[/tex]
Put 5 in the quotient, 40 below 40.
The decimal number is 0.625.
The number in the thousandth place is 5 so add one to the number which is in the hundredth place.
[tex]\frac{5}{8}-0.63[/tex]
Final answer:
[tex]\frac{5}{8}-0.63[/tex]
