Oh, dude, it's like so simple. 0.083 in words is "zero point zero eight three." Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
It means typing or writing this little symbol /
You could at least read your homework question before copying and pasting it here. lol
If you mean: x/8 = 8+9+6+7 then x = 240/1 as an improper fraction
18 over 20 -- 18/20 -- is a fraction that can be reduced to 9/10. Like all fractions, it is an expression of the division function. The "slash" means "divided by." Thus 18/20 = 9/10 = nine divided by ten = 0.9 in decimal form. For a little calculator fun, try this: punch in 18 divided by 20, then punch in 9 divided by 10. I'll bet you'll get the exact same answer.
/ is a forward slash \ is a backslash
/ is a forward slash \ is a backslash
A backslash (one word, no hyphen) is used on Windows to indicate folder levels in a path to a file. A forward slash (not one word) is used in internet addresses (and in Unix paths). So, If you hear a website address being read out as "dot com backslash [something]" do not type that - use a forward slash (the one near the shift key; the one that leans forward)
/ forward slash ^First answer is wrong. It's the backslash (\)
forward slash - division operator backward slash - special character (e.g. \n - newline) in C strings
They are called forward slashes or just slashes for short. You can recognize that this is true when you realize that before computer keyboards, typewriters and typography in general had no such thing as the "backslash". (At least, not commonly.) The only "slash" was the "forward slash". (Think and-slash-or for and/or. When have you ever seen the backslash, "\", in literature? And have you ever noticed that the question mark/forward slash key practically always sits in the same location on all QWERTY keyboards, while the backslash is often in different locations on different QWERTY keyboards? It's not even always paired with the vertical bar.)
A backward slash is a slash that tips backwards (\), as opposed to a forward slash that tips forwards (/).
Under Microsoft Windows, the character that separates directories within a path is the backslash ( \ ). For compatibility with UNIX, the forward slash ( / ) is now also generally accepted.
Yes, a backslash followed by a forward slash representing the two fingered peace sign. Example; \ / - but it is rarely used.
/ = forward slash \ = back slash Forward slashes are generally used as 'switches' for commands, e.g. dir /w/p to provide additional functionality. If you type the command followed by /? it'll list the switches available. dir /?
Slash: / Back Slash\
This is a back slash: \. It is usually above the enter key.
