write \\frac{1}{40} as a decimal number.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Convert fraction to division
We know that (\frac{a}{b}=a\div b). So, (\frac{1}{40}=1\div40).
Step2: Perform the division
When we divide (1) by (40), we can think of it as (1.000\div40). (40\times0.02 = 0.8), (1.0 - 0.8=0.2). Bring down a (0) (now we have (2.0)), (40\times0.005 = 0.2).
Answer:
(0.025)
