Question

What is $\dfrac{23}{25}$ in decimal form?

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question we are given a fractional number which we need to write in the decimal form. So, for this we can directly divide and write the answer in decimal precision up to two places or we can firstly simplify the given fraction and then proceed or we try to make a denominator in powers of 10.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the given question we have $\dfrac{23}{25}$which we need to write in the decimal form. So, we know that in order to write in the decimal form what firstly we think of is to make the fractional form such that we have denominators in powers of ten so that we can easily get the decimal point according to the exponent of ten. So, for this we need to multiply numerator and denominator both to make it in powers of 10.
In the given question, we can clearly see that we have 25 in the order and in order to make a denominator in powers of 10 we need to multiply 25 by 4 which will give us 100. So, for the same we will multiply our given fraction $\dfrac{23}{25}$by 4 in numerator and denominator both.
Then this will become $\dfrac{23}{25}\times \dfrac{4}{4}\Rightarrow \dfrac{92}{100}$
So, now we have got the required fractional form which can be written in decima as 0.92 as we have 100 in denominator which means that decimal point will be before to digits from the right.
Hence, the decimal form of the fraction $\dfrac{23}{25}$ is 0.92

Note: Writing decimal form of any number is very easy but in that case also we need to remember that we need to make denominators in power of 10 rather than just dividing in order to reduce the calculation time and complexity of the question.
