It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 12 (1 whole and 1 as a part) represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 11. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and that to the right represents the fractional part.
1 1/11 in decimals can be written as 1.0909….. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same set of digits infinitely.
To get 1 1/11 in decimal, we will first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction, which is 12/11. Then we use the division method. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (12) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (11) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: 12 divided by 11 gives us 1 with a remainder of 1. So, the whole number part is 1.
Step 3: Now, we will continue dividing the remaining fraction part (1/11) using decimals.
Step 4: Add a decimal point to the quotient and a zero to the remainder, making it 10. Divide 10 by 11.
Step 5: 10 is smaller than 11, so we place a 0 in the quotient and bring down another 0 to make it 100.
Step 6: Divide 100 by 11, which gives us 9 (since 11 × 9 = 99), with a remainder of 1.
Step 7: Repeat the steps, bringing down another 0 to make it 10, and the process continues. This process results in a recurring decimal.
The answer for 1 1/11 as a decimal will be 1.0909……
