Question

Find the value of the fraction in decimal form as: $\dfrac{141}{100}$

Answer 1

Hint: First, before proceeding for this, we must know the following conversion which is in the form of 10 to the square terms in the denominator. Then, the single zero term in the denominator, the decimal will be placed before the single digit. Then, similarly, for the actual question given, the term in the denominator is 100, which gives the final answer by using the same concept.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In this question, we are supposed to find the converted value of the fraction into decimal form.
So, before proceeding for this, we must know the following conversion which is in the form of 10 to the square terms in the denominator.
Now, to solve these type of problems, let us first start with the simple ones as:
$\dfrac{4}{10}$
Here, because of the single zero term in the denominator the decimal will be placed before the single digit.
So, the final answer be as:
$\dfrac{4}{10}=0.4$
Similarly, for the actual question given the term in the denominator is 100.
So, it gives the value in terms of power as:
$100={{10}^{2}}$
So, two decimal places will be shifted to get the final answer as:
$\dfrac{141}{100}=1.41$
So, the conversion will give the result as 1.41.
Hence, the value of the fraction $\dfrac{141}{100}$ is 1.41.

Note: Now, to solve these types of questions we need to know some of the basic conversions which are needed in these questions as they are direct and simple ones and the only mistake we can make in this question is due to the unawareness of these conversions. So, the basic conversions of the terms with the denominator having 10 to power terms as:
$\begin{align}
  & \dfrac{1}{10}=0.1 \\
 & \dfrac{1}{100}=0.01 \\
 & \dfrac{1}{1000}=0.001 \\
\end{align}$
