Pre-Algebra 14.11

That conversion was quite easy. Now let us try converting 1/5 to decimal. Here we also find that the fraction is quickly converted to its equivalent 2/10, so that with a 10 in the denominator, the numerator 2 goes right into the 1/10 position. Our decimal number then will have a 0 in the one’s place and a 5 in the 1/10 place, thereby appearing as 0.1.
