2/5 = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4
2/5 = 0.4
5/2 as a mixed number is 2 and 1/2 or 2.5 as a decimal number
12/5 = 1.4 when expressed as a decimal number.
1/5 = 2/10 = 0.2
Converting a rational number to a decimal using long division. For example if you have a rational number of 2/5 you would set up the equation as 2 divided by 5 which requires long division. The answer to this would then be the decimal number 0.4.
The numerator of the fraction is the decimal number WITHOUT the decimal point. The denominator of the fraction is 1 followed by the same number of 0s as there were digits after the decimal point in the original number. Then simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by any common fractions - they will be 2 (or 2*2 or 2*2*2 etc) or 5 (or 5*5 or 5*5*5 etc). Here, number of digits after the decimal point is 2. So denominator = 100. So the fraction is 78/100. Simplifying, 78/100 = 39/50.
It is a decimal because the fraction 3/5 when converted into a decimal is 0.6. The denominator is the decimal's place and the numerator is the number. 5 x 2 = 10 for the tenths place and 3x2 is 6 for the number.
1/2 as a decimal number is written as 0.5 (equivalent to 5/10, which clearly reduces to 1/2)
Decimal form: 5.50 . Mixed number form 5 50/100 simplified to: 5 1/2.
If you are talking about the number twenty-five, you don't need a decimal. If you are talking about the number two and a half, it is 2.5 answer by loliloveu: 2/5 multiplied by 2 = 4/10 so 2/5 in decimal form is 0.4 or0.04 but 0.4 and 0.04 are equivalet fractions
It is: 5/2 = 2.5 as a decimal or 2 and 1/2 as a mixed number
