10/100 as a decimal

Answer

10/100 in decimals can be written as 0.1. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends after a finite number of digits.

Explanation

To get 10/100 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, 10 is the numerator and 100 is the denominator. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (10) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (100) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 10 by 100. Since 10 is smaller than 100 and cannot be directly divided, we use decimals. We add a decimal point and zeros to the dividend.

Step 3: 100 goes into 10 zero times, so we write 0 in the quotient place and then continue with 100 going into 100 one time. Step 4: The result is 0.1, as 10 divided by 100 equals 0.1.

The answer for 10/100 as a decimal will be 0.1.
